The Whistler Olympic Park Ski Jumps are four ski jumps in the Callaghan Valley near the town of Whistler in Canada that for the ski jumping competitions at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver were built.
A World Cup competition was held on the large hill in the 2008/09 season as a dress rehearsal for the Olympic competitions. Gregor Schlierenzauer holds the current hill record with 149 m, which he jumped on January 25, 2009. The Finn Ville Larinto also jumped 149 m before, but could not stand the jump.
