Whistler Creekside Offers Closest Accommodations To Nordic Olympic Facilities

WHISTLER, BC November 9, 2010 - The first snow-sliding in Whistler for the 2010.2011 season is set to take place at Whistler Olympic Park when their recreational cross-country ski trails open on November 13.

"November will kick off the 2010.2011 season with an Olympic-sized bang as we slide into our first winter after the 2010 Games," says Jaime Dunn, Director of Sales and Marketing for Lodging Ovations. "Whistler Olympic Park will open to the public for the first time since the games on November 13, and on November 25-27 the Whistler Sliding Centre will host the 2010 VIESSMANN FIBT World Cup Bobsleigh and Skeleton event. Wednesday, November 25 also happens to be Whistler Blackcomb's opening day for skiing and snowboarding."
