The city of Calgary leased the Shaganappi golf course to a private operator from the late 1960s until 1978. A Mueller t-bar operated there from 1973 until it closed.
Happy Valley also operated a small ski area in what is now the Valley Ridge neighbourhood. They had a Poma platter and 3-4 runs.
There were proposals for ski areas in Bowness park and Nose Hill park, but nothing came of them.
Yeah, I saw one of your videos on those hills. Nose hill would have ok terrain, but little vertical, and pretty bad exposure. It’s just better as a park. Some days it just feels like the Olympic park can’t handle the traffic (although the new day lodge is going to help).

The smallest ski areas have the biggest names.

Edmonton has a surprising amount of ski hills! Would be nice if Calgary could have at least another one. 😭
