Red Deer’s Canyon Ski Resort opens longest summer tubing slide in western Canada
If skiing, snowboarding, winter tubing, and an alpine coaster… weren’t already enough fun at Red Deer’s Canyon Ski Resort, they have yet another new summer feature for the whole family to enjoy.
That’s right; the local hill (38433 Range Rd 264A) held the grand opening on Friday for their summer tubing slide; the longest in western Canada.
The Italian-made 453-feet long artificial slide is stationed in the same area of the hill where winter tubing takes place, but this time with beautiful summer views. A “Magic Carpet” conveyor belt whisks guests up to the top of the hill before racing down from a 35 per cent incline.
David Martel, General Manager and Co-owner of the resort, says the idea just came about one day during a family conversation.
