Whistler Sliding Centre Whistler Sliding Centre The Whistler Sliding Centre () is a Canadian bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track located in Whistler, British Columbia, that is north of Vancouver. The centre is part of the Whistler Blackcomb resort, which comprises two ski mountains separated by Fitzsimmons Creek. Located on the lowermost slope of the northern mountain (Blackcomb Mountain), Whistler Sliding Centre hosted the bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton competitions for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Design work started in late 2004 with construction taking place from June 2005 to December 2007. Bobsledders Pierre Lueders and Justin Kripps of Canada took the first run on the
Whistler Blackcomb to construct. On August 8, 2016, it was announced that Whistler Blackcomb Holdings, which owned 75% of the Whistler and Blackcomb partnerships, would be sold to Vail Resorts of Colorado for C$1.4 billion, which also saw the addition of the resort to the Epic Pass. In December 2017, Vail Resorts announced investment in a new 10-passenger Blackcomb Gondola for winter 2018-19. The new Gondola will replace the Wizard Express and Solar Coaster chairlifts, and will provide access to both Blackcomb and the award-winning Peak-2-Peak Gondola across to Whistler mountain. The new transportation method is part of a $66M infrastructure investment
