Experience the most unique sport in Canada!
Each season we are hold several Discover Skeleton sessions, opening up the opportunity to try this fast and exhilirating sport to members of the general public. All Discovers are for beginners ... no experience necessary!
Each four-hour Discover session costs $75 and includes two runs from the Ladies Luge start on the real Olympic track, where you can expect to reach speeds of more than 70 km/h! We provide qualified instruction, all equipment and a video session following your runs. DVD copies ($15) and time sheets of your session will also be available.
Private bookings are also available for groups of 10 –20 at the regular cost of $75 per person. Food, park tours, event t-shirts, meeting rooms and DVDs can also be made available to personalize your own event.
Spectators and fans are always welcome!
To make your Discover Skeleton experience as seamless as possible, please keep the following in mind:
- Register early. Session size is limited to 20 sliders; sessions often fill by late November. Consult the events calendar to find out when the next Discover is.
- Arrive on time. Each session runs about four hours, beginning with classroom instruction and ending with video review. Please arrive at the Bob Niven Training Centre at COP by the posted time. If you miss the instruction held at the beginning of the evening, you will not be permitted to slide.
- Minimum age - the minimum age for participation is 14 years.
- Sign your waiver - All athletes are required to sign a waiver of liability. Sliders under 18 years of age require a signature from a parent/legal guardian.
- Dress accordingly - This is a winter sport, so please dress warmly. You may want to wear your Sunday best while sliding, as you just might bump the wall. Consider old sweatshirts and durable pants. Please bring gloves and secure, sensible footwear that you don't mind scuffing up.
