Not For Faint Of Heart

If you’re looking for a new or different sport to try or one we watch in every Winter Olympics’ you should make a drive a short three hours north to Whistler and try Luge or Skeleton.

It’s a sport that’s not for the faint of heart nor for those with heart conditions or those who simply do not relish the idea of speeding down a hill over 100 mph.

The location is used for various movies and welcomes numerous individuals who welcome the opportunity at trying anything once and such was the case when Jason Priestley and Naomi Lowde-Priestley stoked to drive their own bobsleigh down the fastest track in the world!

The Whistler Sport Legacies is a not-for-profit organization that honours the spirit of sport from the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

It became official and on June 1, 2010 and then became responsible for the operation of the Whistler Sliding Centre, Whistler Olympic Park and the Whistler Athletes’ Centre to provide active, accessible and safe opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.

WSL believes the pursuit of sport is a catalyst for individual and community development, and we are committed to supporting athletic excellence, teamwork, respect and empowerment through sport.

From playgrounds to podiums, WSL encourages the public to explore sports on a recreational level and provides world-class facilities for athletes to discover, develop and excel in their disciplines.

To help us achieve our goals and values, our Board Members include representatives from the Lil’wat Nation, Squamish Nation, Canadian Olympic Committee, Canadian Paralympic Committee, Province of British Columbia and the Resort Municipality of Whistler.

Recently we had the chance to video and interview some with the Sliding Centre and they were exceptional in the explanation of what it is and how you should use it.

thanks to the Centre and all the best for years to come.
