Downhill Karting by Skyline

Update coming up a little late. We had a long day of activities, travelling and navigating as we entered the mountains.

After a very windy night at our campground, we were surprised to see all of our tents standing in the morning. We ate breakfast and packed up our campsite. We then made our way into Calgary to do some downhill Karting before we hit the road to head towards Revelstoke. This was incredibly fun! They do this at the Canada Olympic Park. Fortunately, their minimum age requirement is 2 years old, which meant Atlas could ride. But they must be able to walk on their own, fit into a helmet, and follow directions. This made sense when I was riding up the chair lift with Atlas, and I experienced a new level of anxiety, having him up there so high with me. Again, to our fortune, he sat extremely well. Once we got to the top, we got a quick run down of how the karts worked, and they sent us on our way down the hill.
Ride #1. We got a feel for the karts, and the track.
Ride #2. We stuck together for a quick pic on the track and the races began. Chris and Ariella took an early lead, but myself at Atlas did some pretty slick maneuvering down the hill snd were only beaten by a hair.
Ride #3. Grandma and Onyx took the lead, but again, we maneuvered our way to them and took the lead. We thought we lost Chris and Ariella after they crashed into a barricade, but somehow, they managed to catch us. But we still managed to win that race.
I would definitely do this again. We then started our trek towards Revelstoke.Read more
