Canyon is a great non-mountain hill with enough playful terrain to keep you entertained. A short drive from Red Deer, It's a fantastic place to learn to ski/snowboard or to just warm up for the bigger trips. Reasonable season pass costs make it easy to pop out for a couple of hours for a quick ride in your spare time. The parks are sponsored by a local skate and snow shop and they get better every year. The cafeteria is competitively priced as it is so close to town. There is quite a large eating area so seating is usually not a problem. There are 5 lifts: a triple chair, double chair, 2 T-bars, and a magic carpet. The lifts are a little slow but they get you to the top. All-in-all, you would be hard set to find a better hill in the prairies. The new owners have done an amazing job. With a boost from the Canada Games they have updated snow making equipment and added a couple of runs. If you are in Red Deer, it's worth a trip out.
