Although still used for recreational skiiing it has been transform- ed by the federal government into its centrepiece of the upcoming Olympics. There is Canada's first and only luge and bobsleigh track with refrigeration so powerful that it exceeds the ice -making capabilities of all of the country's NHL arenas combined. Calgary disaster authorities are preparing an evacuation plan for nearby communis"- in the event of a massive ammonia leak. Near the track are the towering 70 and 90 metre ski jumps com- plete with a restaurant and lounge offering a panorama of the Calgary skyline on one side and the majestic Rockies on the other.
