For three days, Celebration Square, located in downtown Mississauga, will host a series of free activities including a snowskate demo and lessons, and an impressive roster of professional athletes performing their mind-blowing tricks for the public to enjoy. From ski and snowboard enthusiasts to those looking to get outside for some heart-pounding weekend thrills, APIK Mississauga presented by Samsung Galaxy is the place to be this winter.

The urban snowpark is 11.2 metres high (comparable to a three-story building), 86 metres in length (almost the size of a football field), with six different types of rails. An impressive 2,000 cubic metres of natural and artificial snow will blanket the structure, providing an optimal slope.
