WinSport runs the ski and snowboard hill at Canada Olympic Park, on the west side of Calgary beside the Trans-Canada Highway. The park was a venue for the 1988 Winter Olympics, the main one for ski jumping, bobsleigh and luge, and WinSport has since decided to retire the ski jumps and the sliding track. The top of the hill is about 1,250 metres (4,101 feet) and the base 1,130 metres (3,707 feet), so the vertical is about 120 metres (394 feet). Two chairlifts, the 88 Express and the Legacy Chairlift, and four carpets serve the hill, which has terrain parks, a slopestyle course and a 22-foot halfpipe. The Servus Tube Park has eight lanes, and WinSport says it’s one of the largest in Western Canada.
WinSport says about 97% of the snow on the hill is man-made, and it needs -3 °C or colder to make snow. The season usually runs from early December to late March.
Day Lodge Hill looks from the Day Lodge deck across the base of the 88 Express and up the main hill to the old ski jump tower. Tube Park looks over the tube park toward the ski hill. Almost all the snow here is made by WinSport, so early in the season the cams show how far the snowmaking has got rather than how much has fallen. WinSport’s Hill Report lists which lifts are running.
WinSport is at 88 Canada Olympic Road SW, on the Trans-Canada Highway in west Calgary. The Servus Tube Park has its own entrance and parking lot, reached by Piita Rise SW off Na’a Drive SW, and you can’t get to it from the Day Lodge lot. Calgary International (YYC) is the city’s airport.
Alberta doesn’t require winter tires, but the province recommends four winter or all-weather tires in severe winter conditions. 511 Alberta shows road conditions.
WinSport isn’t on the Epic, Ikon or Indy Pass.
