Day 08 - Long Hill Ski Jump

 

We took the bus to the Whistler Olympic Park in Callaghan Valley for the Ski Jump this morning. The event was the first in which we could see the entire event from start to finish (with the exception of a tiny portion when the skiers were at the bottom of the in-run). It was a brilliant sunny day with almost no wind -- perfect for the ski jump. We were able to see all 61 of the skiers jump and the top ones were going so far that they had to lowere the start. The top-50 will have two jumps tomorrow to decide the medal. The only downer was the 90 minute wait for the return bus.
