''Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of medal events contested in each separate discipline.''

The opening and closing ceremonies and the events categorized as ice sports (excluding bobsleigh, luge and skeleton) were held in Vancouver and Richmond. The sports categorized as "Nordic events" were held in the Callaghan Valley located just to the west of Whistler. All alpine skiing events were held on [[Whistler Blackcomb|Whistler Mountain]] (Creekside) and sliding events (bobsleigh, luge and skeleton) were held on [[Whistler Blackcomb|Blackcomb Mountain]]. [[Cypress Mountain]] (located in [[Cypress Provincial Park]] in [[West Vancouver]]) hosted the freestyle skiing (aerials, moguls and ski cross), and all snowboard events (half-pipe, parallel giant slalom, snowboard cross).

Vancouver 2010 was also the first winter Olympics in which both men's and women's hockey were played on a narrower, [[National Hockey League|NHL]]-sized ice rink,<ref name="VANOC shrinks ice"/> measuring {{convert|200|x|85|ft|m|abbr=on}}, instead of the international size of {{convert|200|x|98.5|ft|m|abbr=on}}. The games were played at [[General Motors Place]] (now Rogers Arena), home of the NHL's [[Vancouver Canucks]], which was temporarily renamed Canada Hockey Place for the duration of the Olympics. Utilizing this existing venue instead of building a new international-sized ice rink facility saved C$10 million in construction costs and allowed an additional 35,000 spectators to attend Olympic hockey games.<ref name="VANOC shrinks ice">{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Olympics/2010Vancouver/2006/06/08/1620669-sun.html|title=VANOC shrinks Olympic ice|author=Mackin, Bob|date=June 6, 2006|publisher=[[Canadian Online Explorer|Slam!
