2010 Vancouver Olympics

The metals that will be awarded at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics were revealed last week to a lot of controversy. Personally I really like them, especially when you look at the history behind them:

~The medals are based on artwork of an orca whale by Corrine Hunt, a Canadian designer/artist of Komoyue and Tlingit Heritage. Each of the medals has a unique hand-cropped section of the abstract art, making every medal one of a kind.

~The medals were inspired by the ocean waves, drifting snow and mountainous landscape found throughout Canada

If you normally ski in Whistler, but want to avoid the Olympic rush; book a ski holiday in Banff Lake Louise. Our snow is incredible and the town of Banff is magical! Visit www.banffaspenlodge.com/specials/skipackages.html for more information~
