How local winter activity hot spots are coping with warm temperatures, lack of snow [Video]

With yet another warm up, how are businesses that provide winter activities handling the mid temperatures in Waterloo Region?

Chicopee Tube Park is considered a winter tourist hot spot in the area, but it’s had a difficult start to its season.

”So we’re definitely trying to maintain the hill as much as possible, but it can be difficult with the sun, and we’re not getting below zero degree weather anymore,” said Katie McTaggart with Chicopee Tube Park.

The tube park opened its doors to the public later than they had wanted due to lack of snowfall and mild temperatures.

“We opened on Jan. 10 and we usually try to open around Dec. 26, so we had a late start this year,” McTaggart told CTV News.

As temperatures continue to climb in March, some businesses are facing the looming threat of an early closure to their winter seasons.
