Talk:Whistler Blackcomb

Olympics
In the section on the upcoming Olympics, it is written "Whistler, as the main focus of the 2010 Olympics". This strikes me as subject to certin conditions at best, if not plain wrong. Am I missing something? Given that the majority of people will be in Vancouver, and the opening and closing ceremonies will be in Vancouver, it seems the city is the main focus. Whistler is the almost exclusive focus of the Paralympic games however.

Also, the same section seems to mix together Whistler and Vancouver issues with the mention of "local mountains in... Vancouver". Seems to me this should be kept separate.

Finally, perhaps it should be noted that upgrading the highway has been in discussion for years before the Olympics came around. The event just kicked the schedule ahead a few years.

Skiable area UOM
Is there a particular reason that the skiable area isn't expressed in square kilometres? Other Canadian ski resort pages (ie Fernie Alpine Resort, Sunshine Village, Panorama Mountain Village, Marmot Basin) either express the skiable area in km2 or acres/hectares followed by km2 in parenthesis. Several (but not all) American ski resorts also provide skiable area in km2 (ie. Aspen Mountain (ski area)) as well as all the European hills I've spot-checked (ie. La Plagne). I would assume to allow easy comparisons that km2 should be provided as well.

Better references needed
This article relies almost totally on the website of the operator of the resort/ski lift company, and that company has reorganized its website, so there are more dead links than I marked today. Newspaper articles, magazine articles, a book, are there any to use as resources for this article? An article that looks at the whole place now, and not just ski lift by ski lift would be good. I did not put a flag on the article, instead I put a note here. —Prairieplant (talk) 19:16, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
