Alpine skiing on the prairie legacy and growth
Jim Burkha notes prairie skiing began early with ski jumping and cross country, evolving to downhill by the 1930s. By the 1960s better boots, binding releases, and lifts like Poma and T bars expanded access. Today about 12 areas in Manitoba, 18 in Saskatchewan, and 31 in Alberta attract skiers, though some close in low snowfall years.
