As you may (not) remember, last year I had a plan to see who wanted to make the trip down to Canada Olympic Park for a day of luge-centred fun, and there was some interest. Unfortunately, they were booked solid real early in the season and the plan was delayed until next year.

Fast forward to the present. Now that winter is fast approaching, I think it's time to bring this one back. Right now, there are still plenty of time slots available. The cost is still $49 per person for rental, training and five runs on the main track.
