Lou's is the best-known bootfitter in Calgary. By 5%, he is referring to the fact that most mass-produced ski boots are not designed to fit the various shapes and sizes of feet that people have, so unless you happen to luck out and find one that by pure chance was molded in a way that works with your foot, you're probably going to need bootwork for the best fit. Basically, boots are the most important piece of ski equipment in terms of actually enjoying your day on the hill, and also the hardest to get right, so spending more on them by buying from people who know what they're doing will be worth it.

Sportchek has ~40% off a couple of ski/binding packages, if you're not too picky about what you're looking for. Here is the flyer:

Here is an example of a set of serviceable sticks on deep discount (369 from 649): https://www.sportchek.ca/categories/...%5Bcolor%5D=99
