Calgary Olympic Park has best winter since 1988 Olympics

8600 and counting!

Those are the ski hill numbers that have broken a record this year at Canada Olympic Park.

Thanks to great weather and increased activity because of the 2010 Olympics, Canada Olympic Park is celebrating its best winter ever.

According to the Calgary Sun, C.O.P. was the first ski hill in Canada and the second in North America to open its lifts to the public by mid-October.

It will close for the season on Tuesday and a spokesperson for the ski hill says starting then, workers will start preparing the hill for mountain bike season.
