Skiers at the Canada Winter Games got to test their skills on a recently-built moguls course at Crabbe Mountain northwest of Fredericton during the competition last week — and now anyone can try the course for themselves.
Jordan Cheney, Crabbe Mountain's general manager, said now that the Games are over, the moguls run will remain open for day-to-day skiing and snowboarding. "The general public can have some more variety on hill and get to check out what a Canada Games, or a world class mogul course, skis like," said Cheney.
Moguls are freestyle skiing on a downhill slope covered in bumps of snow. The terrain requires skiers to make swift, technical turns down the course.
Brian Spence, chief of competition with Freestyle Skiing Canada, said the average ski time for the 20-metre course is 21 seconds.
