This year, the club has a new carpet lift, as well as a refurbished t-bar, to ensure everyone’s visits are fun and safe.
“With financial and program support from both the municipal and provincial governments, we have been investing time and money into ensuring that the hill and facilities are in great condition for our guests,” said Sledz.
Visitors the club will be delighted to hear that this year, there will be programs for skiers and snowboarders of all levels this season, along with holiday camps and planned special event evenings — including a special visit from Olympian Jennifer Heil on December 26.
Edmonton Ski Club will also welcome the Flying Canoe races back to the club at the end of January.
