If there isn't a Whistler option and they had to start from scratch, finding an option at the Canmore Nordic Centre (unlikely) or Nakiska would be the only ones.
Interesting, if you read the bid it does not really specify exactly what they are going to do, just 75 if its in Calgary, 35 million for Whistler. So its a 40 million savings and would come out of the federal money not yet allocated if they have it in Whistler.
