Whistler Olympic Park

The park hosted the Nordic events of the 2010 Winter Games, and the not-for-profit that runs it puts what visitors spend back into Nordic athletes and the venue. Trails leave from the Day Lodge, where you'll find guest services, ski patrol, the rental and retail shop, change rooms with showers and a licensed café run by Whistler Cooks. The park suggests new visitors start on its green routes. Its Preferred Routes list then points regulars toward trails they might otherwise skip, and Guest Services keeps a small surprise for anyone who skis them all.

Dogs get more than 12 km of their own trails with off-leash and on-leash sections, and you reach them from two dog parking areas just past the main gate. A dog day ticket costs $8 for 2026/27, plus tax. No dog-friendly trail reaches the Day Lodge, and dogs stay out of the lodge and off its deck, so pick up rentals first and then move the car to the dog lots.

From 14 December 2026 to 10 March 2027 the park stays open until 9 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays and drops tickets and rentals to $12 each from 3 pm. Six kilometres of trail are lit. Halfway along the beginner Neverland trail toward the biathlon stadium, the Neverland Starlight Loop throws projections and coloured lights over a half-kilometre stretch. Night rentals are online only and spots are limited, so book a pick-up slot before you drive up.

The Callaghan Valley turn-off from Highway 99 comes 45 km north of downtown Squamish and 115 km north of downtown Vancouver. The gate is about 15 minutes by car from Function Junction, and parking is free. The trails at evo's The Callaghan next door belong to a separate operator and need their own ticket.
