I still think the best solution to the football stadium is another grandstand opposite the current one. I wish the Stampede would move in this direction instead of the Corral renovation.



I know about the T-bar - still wondering what the 'course access' capital improvement would be.

The '88 course looked pretty terrible by today's standards:

I am coming around to using Nakiska over Lake Louise though.

This was the initial plan from the 2010 bid book.
