The added exposure of supplying lodges to the Salt Lake City Olympics helped put Sitka Log Homes on the map. The 100 Mile House company is hoping Whistler in 2010 will do the same. After having a very successful run at the 2002 Winter Olympics in SaltLake City, UT, Sitka Log Homes in 100 Mile House, BC, is gearing up to strike Olympic gold at the 2010 Vancouver/Whistler games.
