This site part of a greater network of training and racing areas includes a track for luge, skeleton and bobsledding and facilities for the biathlon (a combination of cross-country skiing and target-range shooting).
It's fair to say that NBC lavished more attention on U.S. short-track skaters and even its skeleton riders than it did on all the cross-country skiers and biathletes combined.
The track at Whistler, which is shared by the sports of luge, skeleton and bobsleigh, already has a reputation as one of the fastest - and most dangerous - in the world.
