WinSport extends ski, snowboard and tube park hours amid mild weather

WinSport announced Wednesday it would be expanding its hours on Thursday and Friday thanks to warm winter weather.

The ski and snowboard hill and the tube park will both be open until 8 p.m. instead of 5 p.m.

The move comes a week after Calgary was plunged into a deep freeze that saw Environment Canada issue an extreme cold warning.

“Our valued guests endured some bone-chilling temperatures which unfortunately kept many of them indoors during last week’s Christmas break,” spokesperson John Francis said in a Wednesday news release.
