2010 Olympic Schedule Released

Thu 21 August 08

Tickets go on sale on 3rd October and the snowboard events will be held between 15th and 27th February

Right in time for the Beijing Olympic Summer Games, VANOC, the organizer of the next Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver (CAN) in 2010, released its detailed competition schedules which were approved by the IOC Executive Board. The tickets to 2010 Games will go on sale on 3rd October 2008.

With nine competition venues, 12 stadiums, seven sports, 15 disciplines and 86 medal events, producing the hourly competition schedules was a highly complex endeavor. Contingency plans for adverse weather conditions, event sequencing (to allow recovery time for athletes in more than one event), venue operational considerations and complex broadcast logistics (including balancing live global coverage of simultaneous events at different venues) all had to be built into the schedules.

The Opening Ceremony will be held on 12th February 2010 while the final sport event will be the men’s gold medal hockey game on 28th February

2010 Winter Olympics

12-28 February 10

The 2010 Olympic Winter Games will be held in Vancouver, Canada and will feature Halfpipe, boardercross and giant slalom in the snowboarding

Cypress Mountain, Canada
Mid-week, with new snow, can be a good for a day's riding. Not much fun on weekends and for long periods. If you're looking for park; go to Grouse or Seymour nearby. Night riding and the beginner slope are its main pluses.
Freeriding: 50% - Some steep and deep, but short runs
Freestyle: 20% - Lacks jumps and Halfpipe, some rails
Pistes: 40% - Varied but short and sometimes busy
