Awesome skiing/snowboarding with it having blackcomb there as well. Also, elevation is much lower than colorado. There are pros and cons to that, but mainly, I found it easier to push yourself really hard and not get as tired.

As for the wife:
There is a bunch of stuff left over from the Olympics. So that has some cool for the wife value, but there's not much from the Olympics to "actually do".
You can bobsled there, which was really cool. And there's an ice skating rink.
Like any major moutain resort, there are a ton of shops and restaurants for the wife to spend time.

There's a world class Scandinavian spa. Which is an expereince I would recommend to anyone. You'll just have to get up the courage to dunk into that 58* water. It's so cold, that it makes it hard to stay in it very long. But eventually you get over it mentally, and it makes the hot tub and sauna like 100x more awesome. Plus, I've never recovered from muscle soreness so fast. A++
We didn't go to these other things in town, but there's a museum, racquet club, etc.


An awesome feature is that they have a nearly complete grocery store right there in main gondola square. No bus rides or car rides to get supplies.
