A great choice of evening activities for kids
The Ski & Board School runs teen programmes in the evenings and Telus Flight School is an intensive park and pipe camp for confident riders and parallel skiers aged 13 to 17, with lessons in the evening too. Other activities include carnival nights and a kids’ climbing wall. Or you could visit the Happy Valley Adventure Park, which features ice-skating, ice-hockey, North America’s only ice-climbing tower, dog-sledding, mini z’s (kids’ snowmobiling), and snow-shoeing. Highlight is tubing on the Mega Snow Coaster at Happy Valley, where specially groomed lanes allow all ages to enjoy a high-speed ride down the slopes and a lift back to the top.
