using Whistler for the alpine event (even tho last week whistler said they never heard from bid co) were those things covered off in the latest estimate?
also previously leaked was potential associated cost with the remediation of the bus barn site and cost of the new bus barns if they were intent on using the site.
thanks for any info ppl might have

They say they still have four locations in consideration for curling. All are in "Southern Alberta". Take that however you want. There is money allocated in the budget to prepare the curling venue for the Games.
Whistler will only be used for ski jumping and nordic combined, which are a very small part of the overall Olympic program. Alpine events will be held at Nakiska. There is money allocated in the budget for holding events in Whistler.
In the latest revision of the budget, they removed the Athletes' Village from the bus barn location, which was one of the cost reductions. The new plan will see the village built somewhere else that doesn't require demolishing the bus barns (I don't believe such a location has been determined).
