Going to piggy back on this one. I'm a born-and-raised Calgarian but I've recently moved elsewhere due to the economic conditions for now. I miss the mountains the most, snowboarding and snowshoeing in the winter, and scrambling/mountain biking in the summer. There are great mtb trails in the city, better trails about 40 minutes out, and even more deeper in the Rockies. There are so many mountains you can scramble up that you can probably do a different one every weekend for years, out of Calgary. Lots of outdoors things to do for weekend warriors (like me)!
