The Seattle Times looks forward to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver with a rundown on construction plans at the popular Whistler Blackcomb ski resort. The $240 million of construction doesn’t affect current visitors much (the article uses a “Visitor Hassle Factor” rating system which never goes above “minimal”). The organizers of the Vancouver games plan to have all the sporting venues ready by 2008, giving Canadian athletes a head start “home field” training advantage. And of course the general public can try out the existing Whistler ski runs. Bring your own cowbell-ringing contingent.
