Not the same of course but bikers will use them.

People are finding different ways/bikes to extend the season. Ice spikers or fat tires have allowed many to ride every month of the year. Not the same type of riding but there is two wheel fun to be had in the winter.

Anything ever happen with the Aviva Calgary bike skills park

How does the cost for liability differ in Markham ON vs Calgary? I would have to think given population and income, Calgary should support it (*assumption: popularity is just as good in Calgary for this as Markham)....

I would have to think this type of venue would appease more of a returning crowd then, say, trampoline or indoor skydiving. The aformentioned probably is better for for a population of another magnitude....
