Well it's a bit bigger than that. I'm sure you remember the many pictures
I've posted showing the 1988 Olympic ski jumps at the top of the hill
(actually a river valley). This little hill is mainly for lessons. As well
it has an exact replica of the 2010 half pipe for Olympic team members to
practice as well as the 1988 olympic bobsled track still used for World Cup
sliding events and training. World Cup freestyle ski and board events are
also held. Lastly the place has been developed as a training area
(nutrition, conditioning etc.) for elite athletes in all sports. The REAL
ski areas in the neighbourhood-Nakiska (again an Olympic venue), Sunshine
and Lake Louise are only an hour or two away in travel time and, for me,
infinitely far away in cost. I think you would enjoy them.
I've heard of Lake Louise. I suffer badly from jet lag so I stay close
to my own time zone, otherwise I'd love to visit Canada!
