April 19th, 2008 as part of my Vancouver / Vancouver Island vacation, I rented a car and drove the 120 kilometers north from Vancouver to Whistler. This stretch of highway is called “Sea to Sky” just to sort of get you in the mood 
it’s a really nice drive.
After arriving in Whistler, I bought a daypass to go up on Whistler Mountain by gondola – a 20 minute ride or so.
I’m not sure if it’s the highest mountain I’ve ever been on but it’s surely the best view I’ve had from any mountain. It was windy and quite cold up there but it didn’t seem to matter I wanted to get some good shots from up there.
The ‘TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival’ was going on that week but even so, Whistler Village seemed like a nice and quiet place. I wonder how things will change when the 2010 Winter Olympics are held here.
For your information, I don’t ski – however, seeing this, I might have to learn how to and return some day

I made this “trailer” for the upcoming Olympic Games. It will be held in Vancouver, and there are ladies who have the chance to win.

Everything i have read says later in the spring. Do you know when that normally is or will be this year?
In 2008, the NFL announced the schedule on Tuesday, April 15. So if it’s the same time this year, it’d be Tuesday April 14.

I have accommodation sorted as have a friend that lives in Whistler, however, am not sure what job to apply for and then where I should apply.
Any advice will be appreciated?
Kind Regards,
Jamie
Hi. As having lived in Whistler for several years, this is what I recommend. Keep in mind that this year is going to be different for Whistler because of the Olympics.
But, if you already have accomodations, you’re halfway there…

Hey there. I REALLY REALLY want to volunteer for the 2010 winter olympics held at vancouver, Canada. I live in Vancouver and I’m a second year student at UBC. However, the main website says I have to be 19 by september 2009. I turn 19 at october 2009…. What are some ways for me to eligible to volunteer for the olympics?
you cant volunteer for game time participation because of safety issues and training required with certain machines however, you can still volunteer with the youth program between age 15-19
