Whistler Nordic Development Centre

The Whistler Nordic Development Centre (WNDC) at Whistler Olympic Park is a designated training hub for athletes who are committed to the high performance pathway and the pursuit of future success in competition.

Three different high performance program streams, including full-time/year-round and part-time options support young athletes who are working towards becoming part of Canada’s biathlon elite. With many of its past and current athletes qualifying for the national teams, the WNDC is considered to be one of Canada’s most successful development hubs for biathlon/Nordic winter sports. It is the only centre of its kind west of the Rockies.

Lead by Head Coach Etienne Letondeur, the WNDC supports athletes through its unique high performance planning process and development, and by facilitating sport services that are in alignment with individual athlete goals and targeted objectives.

WNDC athletes can live, train and even work with Whistler Sport Legacies. The Whistler Athletes’ Centre campus enables them to grow in an exciting multi-sport environment, and to train with carded competitors from numerous disciplines in the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific’s High Performance Centre. Furthermore, as a diverse organization, Whistler Sport Legacies offers athletes interesting opportunities to supplement their growth and income through sport-related employment.
