This winter, Canada Olympic Park doubled their snowmaking capacity, increased lighting for night-time skiing and riding, expanded the ski and snowboard beginner hill, and doubled capacity for public bobsleigh rides. But most notably, they blew their superpipe radius up from 19 to 22 feet. It's the test model for the 2010 Olympic competition superpipe to be built at Cypress Bowl next summer. It's also planned to be the national training center for the Canadian team leading up to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
