If you don't want to deal with swapping tires Nokians are a good alternative. Got some WRG2's a couple of weeks ago from Kal Tire and while I haven't driven much they do seem good. Under $900 installed which is less than going with dedicated summer and winters with another set of rims.

I should add I do see the benefit of what Stang and others highly recommend. I think it also depends on what type of driving you do and when. If you're driving to work before the streets are cleared or do lots of highway at all times of day I can see the big benefit to winters. Calgary also is so variable with the weather and the city is good with clearing the main streets so it's not as vital as in other places - like Quebec where it's mandated - which get wet sticky and icy snow a lot.

Do a search for Winter Tires, there is a thread for a few weeks ago which might help you.
