Growing up they usually had the best snow within 2hrs of Calgary.  It was always a small Mt compared to Sunshine and Lake Louise but given it was only ~1hr away I don't understand how someone with $$ hasn't brought it back.
My best memory was the kicker just off wall street.  You'd have to hike up minimally for a couple minutes from the Canadian chair and was just out of bounds but was always there and amazing.  
The only negatives I can remember were the windy days coupled with old rickety chair lifts.  Still can't believe it's almost been 20 years since the last time it was open.
