On the weekends it's very busy, but still totally worth it if you can adjust your expectations. Given there isn't really anything else to do in Calgary with all the covid rules, people are flocking to the mountains. They also won't put anybody not in your party in the Gondola or on the chairs, so it takes a while to get up the mountain.
They do a great job of enforcing mask wearing, it's safe, and super fun. Go with somebody you enjoy talking with and use the lines as a place to shoot the ####. You can also bring your headphones and some podcasts and take in the amazing views as you wait in line.
Also, eat at like 11:30 and take advantage of the mountain clearing out from 12 - 1:30 and get a ton of runs in then.
I think I would have gone crazy if not for Louise this winter. Can't believe how lucky we are.
