100 Days and Counting Down to 2010 Vancouver Olympics

Wednesday November 4, 2009

Ski JacketThat's right, today, Wednesday, November 4th, marks the 100-day countdown to the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, on February 12, 2010. Visit Vancouver 2010, the official web site of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, and join in the Countdown.

You can also follow the interactive  2010 Olympic Torch Relay Route as the torch makes its way from Olympia,  Greece, around Canada, and into Vancouver for Opening Day on February 12th, 2010.

NBC, the official broadcasting network at NBCOlympics.com and Universal Sports (UniversalSports.com) are both ramping up their pre-Olympic coverage and are planning some interesting material during the 100 day countdown.

Of course, my Olympic Skiing - 2010 Vancouver Olympics section is ever growing in Olympic relevant content and will soon be getting up close and personal as I journey, next month, to the Olympic skiing venues at Whistler Creekside, Whistler Olympic Park and Cypress Mountain. I'll be bringing you whatever great pre-Olympic photos and info I can gather both on and off the snow.

While we are talking about the skiing at Whistler Blackcomb and Cypress Mountain let me say right now - don't hesitate to head up there for skiing before, during or after the Winter Games. In fact check out some of the ski and stay deals available right now.

I'll tell you more about it later, but even during the Olympic competition 90% of Whistler Blackcomb terrain will be open for public skiing.

100 Days and Counting!
