Whistler was born on an Olympic dream. Franz Wilhelmsen, the man who opened Whistler for skiing in the 1960’s, did so in the hopes of hosting the Games there. It has taken almost 50 years for that dream to be realized as Whistler Blackcomb is the official Alpine Skiing venue and Vancouver the Host City for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Famous for its athletes’ daredevil antics and high speeds on the world’s most difficult and dangerous slopes. A former Olympic and World Cup medallist, Steve Podborski went on to become the first North American to win the an Olympic Medal in Downhill Skiing and still remains the only non-European male to win the World Cup Downhill Title.
