Tobogganing in Calgary is about to undergo a major upgrade this weekend with 200 metres of snowy, slippery terrain ready for action.
Starting Saturday, visitors at Canada Olympic Park's new Acura Tube Park can choose from 10 lanes of varying speeds to slide down. There's also a dedicated magic carpet for an easy ride back up the hill.
"It's just another opportunity for families to come out and enjoy the winter we have here in Calgary," says Dale Oviatt, director of communications at WinSport, which owns and operates Canada Olympic Park.
