The Men's and Women's events of the "Canadians" will be held on the "Women's Downhill" course , newly build on Whislter Mountain's "Franz's Run".  The Canadians will be followed by two World Cup Men's races on the traditional Dave Murray  Downhill course and two World Cup Wonen's races on the new Women's Downhill course.

The World Cup Men's races will start at the traditional Women's Start on the dave Murray Downhill course.  Only the lower portion of the course will be developed.
