[Whistler] Athlete's Village/Cheakamus Crossing | u/c

[wrenegade]

Cheakamus Crossing is a unique and exceptional neighbourhood designed with both the needs of the local community and the environment in mind. One of Whistler’s most talked-about Olympic legacies, the neighbourhood is currently being built prior to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to house visiting athletes, and will be converted post-Games into a vibrant, local community with a diverse housing mix and front door access to countless recreational opportunities and neighbourhood conveniences.

There are a ton of photos on the website, but I grabbed a couple myself this weekend, having never been in the area. It is huge, and there is room to do even more. Quite something.

Check out the website though, I wasn't able to get in there to take anything more detailed/in-depth due to ongoing construction and security.
