Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter and Paralympic Games Canada

Ecosign played a pivotal role in the planning and development of the Alpine Skiing and Nordic venues for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Initially Ecosign assisted Whistler Blackcomb in outlining the ski area's capability to host the Alpine and Freestyle events for the bid submission. Following the award of the games to Vancouver/Whistler in 2003, Ecosign developed the comprehensive Master Plan for the Alpine Skiing Venue for the Olympic and Paralympic games. We worked closely with VANOC (Vancouver Organizing Committee) and Whistler Blackcomb to relocate all technical events from Blackcomb Mountain to Whistler Mountain, creating a common finish area for the ten alpine skiing events. Notably, Ecosign designed the new Ladies' Downhill course, suggesting extensive grading and constructing a skier bridge to optimize the layout.

Ecosign also focused on planning the finish area, homologation of pistes, and effective transportation and parking solutions to support the events. These efforts contributed to the success of the Games and left a lasting legacy, further cementing Whistler's reputation as a world-class winter sports destination.

Additionally, as a sub-consultant to Sandwell Engineering, Ecosign was responsible for preparing the Master Plan of a new Nordic and Biathlon Venue in the Callaghan Valley. This project included the construction of competition trails, ski jumps, and biathlon pistes, all completed by 2007. Ecosign's work ensured that the venues were well-prepared for both Olympic competition and future recreational use. Renamed the Whistler Olympic Park after the Games, the venue continues to offer Nordic and Biathlon facilities and training to the public, local Nordic clubs, Adaptive Programs and competitive athletes. In 2023, summer operations expanded with the opening of the Whistler Olympic Park Campground and RV Park, providing spacious campsites from late June to late September.
