Low temperatures in Calgary, Alberta, led to the region’s Olympic Park ski area shutting down on Friday because the weather was too cold for the lifts to operate within required limits.
An Arctic Storm brought temperatures down to -27C during the daytime on Friday with wind chill below -40C. The cold weather is expected to continue for several more days and may bring actual temperatures as low as -40C. The cold weather has been accompanied by strong winds of up to 41mph.
Canada Olympic Park cancelled all outdoor activities, but park spokesman Stewart McDonough told local media that it was rare for the park to shut down due to bad weather. However the lifts should not operate in strong winds or very low temperatures. The forecast high at present is about -31C.

Your guide to the best priced ski wear!
With the credit crunch biting at your heels and Christmas just around the corner, you're probably thinking that you can't afford to buy new ski wear this year. But you can!
Our Crazy Clearance section on skiwear4less.com is proving to be a huge success, we've slashed the prices on 1000's of products so that you can afford to stock up on some essentials! And the choice just keeps growing each day!
Check out our guide below to your ski wear essentials and pick up some bargains for this years trip!
THERMALS
The most important layer, without a good quality base layer, the performance of each subsequent layer will be compromised. This layer should be close fitting to maximise the fabric's moisture wicking capabilities.
Though it's essential to purchase a good quality set of thermals, it doesn't have to break the bank! We've got sets reduced from £60 a set to just £10 a set! Thats a saving of £50! With brands such as Big Air & Five Seasons, you know you're getting good quality products!
FLEECE
A good quality fleece can be worn underneath your ski jacket to provide extra warmth.
We've got a great selection to choose from, including Dare 2 Be & Five Seasons, with an RRP of £30 we're clearing them for just £14.99! That's a saving of £15!
SKI JACKETS
Purchasing a good quality ski jacket is very important, the jacket you choose should offer durable protection against the abrasive effects of snow and ice, but must be light enough to allow for sustained activity.
We've got some amazing Five Seasons ski jackets for ladies and men in our Clearance section. With RRP's of up to £80, you'll be saving a fantastic £40!
SKI PANTS
Ski pants are constructed on the same principal as ski jackets, therefore it's important to buy a pair which fit well and are comfortable. Detachable braces and adjustable waists can also help to perfect the fit. We've got a great selection to choose from, with prices starting from just £10!
SKI GLOVES
Good quality gloves go a long way to making your ski day comfortable. You need to keep your hands dry and warm and padded ski gloves can also protect against injuries. Look for gloves and mittens that fit snugly, are well insulated, and allow your hands to move freely.
