World Record Capable · IWWF Pedigree
Records Fall Here.
Jaret Llewellyn's Open Men overall world record, 2000. Robert Pigozzi's junior slalom world record, 2015. Same water. Your training block is next.
The Site
Purpose-Built in 1985.
Proving It Ever Since.
The lake was oriented, bermed, and planted to kill the two things that ruin training water: wind and backwash. Forty years on, the windbreaks are mature and the water holds glass through a full set. Third parties keep records here because the conditions keep allowing them — “world-record-capable” is the sanctioning phrase, not ours.
The 9,000 sq ft, three-level clubhouse carries tournament infrastructure most private sites can't: judges' platform, officials' area, commercial kitchen, banquet floor for two hundred.

Visiting Skiers
Fly In. Ski Glass.
Fly Home Faster.
Getting Here
Fifteen minutes from Edmonton International (YEG) — closer to an international airport than nearly any record-capable site in North America. Direct flights from most major Canadian and US hubs.
Water Time
Set packages from $57/set make a week of volume affordable; private-lake scheduling means your sets run on time, on glass, one skier on the water.
The Season
Mid-May through mid-September, noon to 8pm — long northern evenings mean late glass most southern sites never see.
The Film
Proof, In Motion.
The Water Doesn't Care

It just holds still and lets you prove it. Bring your training block to Canada's premier site.
