The Canadian Government doesn’t own Winsport. Winsport is a not for profit organization. The new lift added over 30% new terrain for Winsport, and for an inner-city ski hill, that’s huge. I’ve skied winsport before, and the lineups this lift and legacy express can get huge.
Me and my Dad ride it in the summer. I prefer the lift in the summer because it serves some nice tree and open bike runs. Where as in winter it just serves the same tannin as Legacy Express.
Legacy is better for terrain parks and beginners while 88 is more intermediate and advanced terrain, Legacy is redundant to 88, but they can both get huge lines.

Why would they put a high speed quad here? the Canadian government is wasting money.

I still think the lift is better in the summer time.

Same thing. Legacy gets too crowded in the summer, luge is apparently very popular.

That’s why I like 88 better then Legacy. I think it is because the luge is more of a tourist thing where as the bike park is more of a local thing.
