Valcartier Vacation Village set to open for winter season

North America’s largest winter playground is gearing up for opening weekend December 17.

Located just 20 minutes north of Quebec City, Valcartier Vacation Village, North America’s largest winter playground, opens its doors for the 2010-2011 winter season on Friday, December 17.

As a special opening weekend offer, thrill-seekers can get unlimited access to the ice slides on Saturday and Sunday for only $20.

Speed down four long, steep slopes while enjoying the breathtaking scenery of the Jacques-Cartier River and Valley.

In addition to high-speed routes, tamer ice slides accommodate child-friendly 12-passenger rafts, and the Tornado, a unique raft that spins eight passengers in its slide down the hill.

This winter paradise also offers a skating path over one kilometre long, and "ice karting" – where visitors can race around an ice racetrack in a go-kart with studded tires. Little ones can enjoy the play area and ice castle
