Wing over Whistler, BC, Canada -- Supplemental Slides -- Here we see the olympic athletes' housing, built on 96 acres of a former garbage dump about 4 miles south of Whistler. To the left are gravel piles kicking up dust. Some of the construction funds were used to mitigate methane pollution, lest the athletes run on gas. While this is to be a permanent village to be used to train Canadian athletes after the Olympics, the large tent is obviously temporary and will be used as a 42,000 square foot dining room for the nearly 3000 athletes, officials, and coaches participating in the "sliding" games. Housing includes a 100 room hotel and several duplexes.
