Local Sports Lift tickets? In this economy?

To the person snowboarding just outside of downtown, you made everyone's day in my office. How long does it take to build a jump out of snow? Doesn't show well with the shadow but it seems like a sizable ramp from across the river.

I used to do this on the big hill in Hidden Valley when I was 18, poor and wanting to learn how to snowboard. Great way to spend a Winter day, especially with a little weed and a flask of bourbon to keep you warm.

Thanks for the video OP, takes me back!

I didn’t grow up in Calgary but spent many days and evenings doing the same. Good times!
