Design Process for 2010

Nordic Olympic Venue Callaghan Valley – something for everyone

Spring 2004

CC Design process – initial step

FIRST ON PAPER:

• Create a Stadium solution

– Access to stadium for athletes, teams, (and also

spectators, media etc…)

– Athletes’ Compound (wax cabins, ski test area,

warm-up course)

CC Design process – initial step

FIRST ON PAPER:

• Look at available Terrain and Courses

– Distances and loops required

– Suitable terrain near stadium (for Sprint course)

– Location of and distance to suitable climbs

• Create a paper proposal (course layout) that met FIS

requirements

CC Design process – next step

START PRACTICAL WORK:

• NOTE: Difficult conditions

• NOTE: Moving in terrain best done on snow (snow-shoes)

• Convert/adjust paper-plan to terrain:

– Goal: Find “Canadian Identity”?

– Start with stadium (next slide)

– Follow terrain (old trails etc…)

– Minimize terrain and environmental impacts

– Avoid areas exposed to wind etc…

Biathlon

Cross Country

Cross-Country courses

• Minimize cost and large environmental issues

– Creek crossings

– Road crossings

– Avoid wetlands

– “Set-back” from creeks (30 m or 15 m)

• Further course work

– Identify separate snowmobile courses

– Identify spectator access to trail system

Cross-Country courses

• Consider mass-start and group skiing

– Width of uphills (9m where possible)

• for Overtaking

– Technical/challenging downhill sections must be

wide for safety

– Avoid compression in corners (ex. Sapporo)

– Constant radius through corner

– Important to bank/elevate outside corners

– Places for feeding stations & Coaching zones

– Space for snowmobile camera

Construction process

• Very difficult

• Local construction expertise required

• Large machines needed

• Expensive

• “Hands-on” work important (every 2nd day)

• Make final product look natural (seed grass, add soil to edges of trail etc…)

• Create natural and nice rock walls etc…

• ‘Check-points” along the way (Hermod/FIS)

Viktige elementer

- for turløyper

• Gode navn

– Top of the World, Norwegian Woods, Lunch lake, osv.

• Gode mål (for skituren)

• Noe å se på underveis

• Egne løyper for hunder (ikke tillatt i andre løyper)

• Godt skilta

• God informasjon før turen

Our Competitors of to-morrow

Viktige elementer

- skilting og infokart

• I riktige farger

– Grønt for «beginner»

– Blå for «intermediate»

– Svart for «advanced»

• Med information hvor langt til P-plassen (!)

• Infokart ved betaling av dagspass

– I lommeformat
