With all that out of the way, is there a good place to go for new equipment? I don't really want to go to the sportcheks of the world, I want a proper fitting of new gear for myself. Also would Nakiska be good for my kids to take their first lessons? Would a place like Canyon (Red Deer is closer to me) work just as well? Iv'e been out of the game for so long I'm not sure where to start with everything.

Spend your money on proper fitted boots from an actual ski store.
You can find tremendous value on skis on Kijiji; pretty sure Calgary ski swap just happened but Banff/Canmore may still be upcoming? Best of both worlds as you’ll get some advice as you buy
