The Jamaican Bobsleigh Team will be training in Whistler this year. And Pemberton, just north of Whistler, is providing the team's accommodations. The team's legendary status was immortalized in the film "Cool Runnings".
The team will arrive at the Vancouver airport at 3:49 PM on Saturday December 13, 2008 (domestic terminal) and is expected to be greeted by a large group of Jamaica bobsleigh fans and supporters.
The team will then travel to Pemberton where an official welcome is scheduled for 1:30 PM on Sunday, December 14, at the Pemberton Community Centre. Later on Sunday, the team will tour the Whistler Sliding Centre from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.. The team will be available for media interviews in Pemberton after the community reception or in Whistler prior to the sliding centre tour.
