As for the Nordic trails... well, we had perfect conditions. And hardly anyone was there. Actually there were a lot of people on Sunday, but virtually no-one was skiing on the Olympic course, so it seemed empty pretty much where ever you were skiing. There is over 50k of trails. I have no idea why, but most of the rec skiers stayed on the 'recreational' trails (which were spectacular BTW). As for the Olympic courses, it was my first ski on Olympic class trails, and I thought the hills would have been steeper. They didn't seem as hard as I thought they'd be, but i was not ski racing on them either, I'm sure they are hard enough, but especially the Biathlon trails seemed easy? Camp ripley biathlon had way steeper hills.
We had one day when it wasn't as sunny, but it was still quite awesome. here are some looks:
Like skiing at bachelor on it's best day, with better trails and 100 times better scenery.

start grip tape was grippen and gliden!

These guys spent all day getting the jump ready, but nobody was jumping!

The huge jumps. This event would be the ultimate one to snag tickets for next winter.

Here's a wide view of the stadium, that will look much different next feb.

Podium!

I highly recommend a trip up there to ski, it is amazing. We will be back that's for sure. We just need to find time off, and get hook ups on excellent lodging in whistler, Thanks Belinda!
