Calling All Winter Sports Fanatics!!! 

This update is for you! This year was Eastlink Park's 4th year in operation and these folks have a lot new in the works for all our snow fanatics out there. 
In their first few years they saw 5500 ski visits and since their operation started they have now grown to 9000 visits with 16 school's in attendance, with Guy teaching many many students how to ski this year. Although the park just closed; albeit a little earlier than normal; thanks to warmer weather, this year they also saw 1500 tubers, with their most memorable being seeing a handicapped child's eyes G-L-O-W sending them down the hill in a tube. 
The future of the park is looking bright, especially with the significant growth they have seen in the last few years, leading them to a conference this month in Whistler to sit on a panel on how to make a tube run with curves; our's is only one currently offering this, as well as building more runs and t-bars. Next winter is sure to be an exciting one. 

Thank you Eastlink for all of the winter fun you provide Whitecourt & our families.  We can't wait for next year!
