A venue for the 2010 Winter Games, The Whistler Sliding Centre will host the bobsleigh, luge and skeleton competitions and will also serve as a legacy for the enjoyment of local residents, visitors and high-performance athletes.

The venue is situated in the Village of the resort of Whistler, complementing the other adventure-oriented activities the area offers. Post-Games, the facility will operate as a centre for high-performance development, youth and recreational club programming, tourist and public admissions (passenger rides and tours), building the legacy of the 2010 Winter Games.

In many respects, sliding sports are the purest of winter sports. Sliding down a hill on a sled represents the sheer joy of speed, taken to the extreme. Steep, challenging and fast: The Whistler Sliding Centre is not for the faint of heart” this track is faster than any other in the world, reflecting the terrain and environment of its location.

From the moment an athlete first moves down the track, they feel the power of the course. It starts fast and gets faster, and harder. One curve leads straight into the next. There are no simple lines or places to catch their breath as the track throws one challenge after another at the slider.

As one of only two sliding tracks in Canada, The Whistler Sliding Centre track will help to elevate the Canadian high-performance sport development program along with complementing the 1988 Winter Games sliding track in Calgary, Alberta.

Large group guided tours can be pre-arranged with a Track Host to walk through the Track Lodge showcase and finish stadium on a personalized venue tour.
