we visited the olympic park in calgary. they've made really good use of the facilities post-olympics; they give tours, luge and skeleton starts in the ice house, use the mountain and ski-lifts for mountain biking, have dry slope ski jumping and tours up the biggest ski jump tower [which is what we did].
