GET READY FOR THE SLIDE OF YOUR LIFE!
One of only a few locations on earth where you can experience this one-of-a-kind Olympic sport for yourself. Beginning at Start 4, you’ll reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour zooming through banked turns and zigging and zagging along the lower half-mile of the track. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any adrenaline seeker!
(During the summer months when there is no ice the bobsled uses wheels on a concrete track, and in the winter season the bobsled uses metal runners on an ice track.)
