Calgary's Historic 90m Ski Jump Designated

Calgary’s 1988 Winter Olympics ski jump at WinSport has been officially designated a historic resource — the 1,000th site recognized by Heritage Calgary — cementing its legacy as a symbol of the city’s rise to global prominence. Built in 1986 and once a centerpiece for Olympic training and competition, the 90-meter jump fell out of use after 2005, replaced by newer facilities in Whistler. Now, thanks to advocacy from the ski jumping community, it’s being preserved not just as a relic, but as a living monument to Calgary’s growth and the evolution of the sport — including the historic milestone of women’s participation, which didn’t exist in 1988. While the designation doesn’t offer automatic legal protection, it paves the way for future preservation and aims to expand Heritage Calgary’s reach beyond the city center.
