Camrose Ski Hill Just so you know Difficulty Duration When Easy 1-3 hours Year round 780.672.4217 Stoney Creek Park Website This iconic hill in Stoney Creek Park was the site of ski jumping, cross country skiing, and luge. The ski hill in Camrose was the site ski jumping. By 1911, local Scandinavian settlers had constructed a 50 foot tower and held their first jumping competition in 1912. Skis were made of hickory or oak with a traditional Norwegian binding. The original ski jump was replaced several times throughout the 1920s and 1930s. The ski jump was rebuilt again in 1965 but later dismantled in the late 1960s. Another jump was constructed of welded pipes and a wooden slide surface in preparation of hosting the 1990 Alberta Winter Games. Modern day ski jumpers go much farther than historically making the Stoney Creek Valley unsuitable for hosting ski jumping competitions. In 2016, this jump was dismantled marking the end of an era. The ski hill has several challenging cross country ski trails that people can classic or skate ski up and down. The face of the ski hill is also a popular tobogganing place as the groomed surface makes for an excellent sliding experience. Explore the map

Invest in Camrose's Tourism Sector The Alberta Advantage In the simplest of terms, the province of Alberta and the City of Camrose both represent absolutely outstanding places to invest in a tourism business. Location, Location, Location Over 50% of Alberta's population lives in either Calgary or Edmonton which makes the corridor between and including the two cities one of the most densely populated areas in Canada. This proximity to key markets is one of the greatest competitive advantages for Camrose businesses. Distances from these key markets and their relative populations are as follows: City Population (2024) Distance from Camrose Lloydminster 38,214 225 km Leduc 41,992 74 km Red Deer 118,463 140 km Calgary 1,506,479 290 km Edmonton 1,163,271 95 km EDM O N T O N CA L G A R Y CA M R O S E ALBER T A Key Tourism Markets Who is Visiting Alberta? Alberta had 37.7 million guests with 84% (31.7M) of those visitors being from Alberta. Alberta has one of the country's most youthful and wealthy populations - in fact, the fastest-growing with the highest median incomes in all of Canada who spent over $6.3 billion in 2022 exploring Alberta alone. Key international markets making up 38% of Alberta's visitor economy are from: USA United Kingdom France Japan Alberta is outpacing the rest of Canada significantly with Alberta's international visitation a full 16% ahead of Canada's overall growth from these international markets. Germany South Korea Netherlands Mexico Welcome to The Central Prairies Tourism Region There were 6.7 million visits to this region in 2023 with these visitors spending $2.3B for an average spend per overnight of $678 per visitor (the third highest visitation and second highest spend in the entire province). Seasonality While it's no surprise that summer is the season that sees the greatest visitation/spend, it is actually a very positive sign that the difference in visitation/spend between seasons is actually very small. This suggests that the region is attractive to guests over all four seasons, which is critical for the economic health of any tourism business. Camrose's Lifestyle Camrose has 333 sunny days per year on average and is truly the quintessential rural Albertan town. With a population of just over 20,000 people, it is a very unique city combining a rich history derived in part from the original Indigenous and Metis peoples combined with the strong Scandianvian settlers that first created Stoney Creek, the forebearer of Camrose. Camrose is both a university town and the economic, administrative, health care, and recreation hub for the surrounding rural region. The Community Advantages The City of Camrose is called the “City of Roses”, and this moniker captures the quaint beauty of this remarkable community. Camrose is known for several remarkable reasons: Thriving arts & culture scene 2 live performance theatres & host of Big Valley Jamboree country music festival Vibrant retail sector Known for women's boutique shopping attracting patrons from Edmonton and surrounding areas. Recreation assets in Camrose and Camrose County 20 campgrounds 7 golf courses Miquelon Lake Provincial Park 34km of multi-use trails in Camrose and another 10km of bike-only trails There can be few places left in Canada that provide such an idyllic location to bring up a young family. Between the excellent schools serving all ages from kindergarten to graduate studies, the plethora of recreation facilities that are of quality that attract televised competitions to the robust health care system, Camrose remains a remarkable place for entrepreneurs to make their home. Cost of Doing Business in Camrose From a cost-of-doing business perspective, Camrose provides an outstanding business environment. Critical business expenses are both low and extremely stable. The few taxes that exist and the cost of utilities are low and very stable year to year relative to other jurisdictions – in particular relative to owning a business in Edmonton. Real estate prices are also low relative to Edmonton, allowing businesses the luxury of owning their infrastructure – a key pillar to ensuring a successful exit strategy when that day arrives. The competitive advantages of starting a business in Alberta in general cannot be overstated: no provincial sales tax; no payroll taxes; no health care premiums; low fuel taxes; low commercial property tax; and low personal income tax rates Learn More More info Ag Tourism This agri-tourism family farm destination welcomes guests with antique farm equipment, hay bales, and a farm adventure space.
