The arrival of a prestigious event such as the Whistler 2010 Olympics has sprung a variety of Olympic-sized rumours. A series of inaccurate media reports concerning the event may be misleading hopeful Whistler Olympics visitors. This article separates fact from fiction and reveals the truth behind the Whistler Olympics myths.
Myth #1: Lack of Whistler 2010 Accommodation Availability
An event such as the 2010 Whistler Olympics is anticipated to bring in a high volume of visitors from across the world. Many believe that popularity surrounding the games means limited vacation rental availability in-resort as well as exceptionally high nightly rates.
Although Whistler is expecting a high volume of visitors, it is primarily VANOC VIP members who are experiencing trouble finding the appropriate lodging to match their highly specific needs. The Whistler Olympics accommodation that remains is plentiful and reasonably priced. The resort has an abundant supply of vacation homes and lodging that is not taken by Olympic affiliates and is available to rent during the 2010 Whistler Olympics.
These vacation rentals are also affordable. We’ve recently found a studio suite in Whistler Village has a nightly rate of $300 during the games. If you are unable to find the right rental for you now, search again later as owners are constantly updating property rates and availability.
Myth #2: Limited Parking Availability
Immense media attention combined with crowds of eager spectators may make parking during the Whistler Olympics seem impossible. However if you book a vacation rental that includes one secure parking stall, driving and parking at your unit will not be a problem. Many rental properties also have additional visitor parking stalls for those traveling with more than one vehicle. Be sure to inquire with the owner of the vacation rental regarding parking availability during the 2010 Whistler Olympics.
Myth #3: Increase in Lift Ticket Rates & Restricted Accessibility to Whistler and Blackcomb Terrain
Don’t fret about limited access to the slopes during the 2010 Whistler Olympics; Whistler Blackcomb will remain 90% open for your skiing and riding enjoyment. All lifts, with the exception of Creekside, will be open for public skiing. This myth surrounding the games may even give you the entire mountain to yourself!
