The Whistler Olympic Park is the location of the Nordic events facilities for the 2010 Winter Olympics and is located in the Madeley Creek basin in the Callaghan Valley, west of Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. The facility will host the biathlon, cross-country skiing, nordic combined, and ski jumping, and after the Olympics will remain a public facility, complementing the extensive wilderness trails and alpine routes already in use. Three stadia, with both temporary and permanent features, are being built with a capacity for 10,000 spectators each (6,000 for the Paralympics). The location is approximately 8 km from the junction of its access road with Highway 99 and 14 km from the Whistler Olympic Village.
