Freestyle Manitoba Airbag

YES! We FINALLY have an Airbag in Manitoba for all winter athletes to train on, It will primarily be located at Springhill Winter Park. We are allowing Skiers and Snowboards to train on the Airbag.

We will be posting an airbag schedule, but you should anticipate it to be open AT LEAST twice a month. Inclement weather is a major issue, so please understand the airbag will operate when winds are below, and temperature is above certain thresholds.  We appreciate your understanding, and safety with our users, is the most important portion of operation.
