In an effort to get into the Olympic spirit Ben performed an Olympic triathlon (of sorts) yesterday. It started with a walk through the new bobsled track, then up to the Whistler Olympic park in the Callaghan for some nordic skiing (while checking out the biathlon shooting range and ski jumps), then he finished off with a run down the Dave Murray downhill (site of the alpine events for 2010).  I guess you could say the Olympics aren't just coming to Whistler but rather they are already here!  Let us know if you want to rent some accommodation for the Olympics.
