Canyon Ski Area Πρόγνωση Χιονιού

Updated from April, 2013: Lots of positive changes over the last 5 years. Consistently better snowmaking efforts, a real terrain park and a few new runs make skiing more interesting and enjoyable while the food and lodge options have also improved. As a Central Albertan I am very thankful that this big non-mountain hill is close by...especially when out with the younger ones (grandkids) in our family for a quick day trip. A couple of thoughts regarding one of the prior comments below; if there has been no recent big dumps, strap on a pair of World Cup slalom racing skis and lap the blue and black runs...if you are an intermediate or above you'll improve your skiing, get a great workout and have a ton of fun (very responsive and tricky skis). If there has been recent snow, get out early and you'll find at least an hour or more of powder turns. Sure, it's not a mountain hill, but be thankful it's not COP or Rabbit Hill. Short vertical and slow lifts are still part of the picture, but for a 15 minute drive from Red Deer it is a great facility for improving skills while having fun no matter what your age. Note; mom was a ski patroller, I've been skiing since 1970, still a level 3+, still heli, cat and alpine tour on a regular basis.
