While in Whistler, we saw a few unusual stone structures. One was at the top of the gondola station, near the patio overlooking Whistler Village. The other was larger and situated on a clearing on the summit of Whistler Mountain. After asking around, we learned that these were statues of Ilanaaq, the symbol of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, much of which will take place at Whistler.
Ilanaaq, the logo of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, is formed of stone in the Inukshuk-style of traditional Inuit sculpture. This one is located on the summit of Whistler Mountain.
