The Whistler Sliding Centre is a bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track located in the Fitzsimmons Creek valley in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada located 125 kilometres (78 mi) north of Vancouver. Located on the lowermost slopes of Blackcomb Mountain, one of two ski mountains forming the Whistler Blackcomb resort, this venue will host the bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton competitions for the 2010 Winter Olympics which are being co-hosted by Vancouver and the Resort Municipality of Whistler. On 21 February 2009 during the 2008-09 Luge World Cup season finale, the track had the fastest registered speed in luge when Germany's Felix Loch recorded 153.98 kilometres per hour (95.68 mph).

Snowmaking machine
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
Snowmaking is the production of snow by forcing water and pressurized air through a "snow gun" or "snow cannon", on ski slopes. Snowmaking is mainly used at ski resorts to supplement natural snow. This allows ski resorts to improve the reliability of their snow cover and to extend their ski seasons. Indoor ski slopes often use snowmaking. They are generally able to do so all year round as they have a climate-controlled environment.
The production of snow requires low temperatures. The threshold temperature for snowmaking increases as humidity decreases. Wet bulb temperature is used as a metric since it takes air temperature and relative humidity into account. Snowmaking is a relatively expensive process in its energy use; thereby limiting its use.
