That's cherry picking a bit I think. Whistler village is a ski destination so you would expect to have to be outside. Also Whistler has a coldest average month of -5 Celsius

. If we had that there would be no need for any + 15 system in Calgary
I don't think comparing mild temperature Whistler to a freezing Urban setting is an apples to apples comparison at all.
What type of outdoor shopping and entertainment districts do places like Chicago, Minnesota, Denver, Boston, Toronto and Montreal have? These would be closer comparisons
