the resort was beautiful and hotel was incredible (albeit expensive) but all of the runs were sheets of ice and it was hard to find nice snow.

Great local hill, its not the biggest or most impressive in the area. I wouldnt put it on my list if visiting western Canada for a big mountain ski trip, but for locals the runs and infrastructure are great for a quick day on the hill.
Close to Calgary, usually not too busy, and well maintained terrain.
Their mid-mountain lodge is a great place to eat your brown bag lunch and recharge before taking on the rest of your day!

Nakiska is not in a high snow fall area, but groomers can be really good if out early in the morning. The Glades are a lot of fun when there is enough snow. It is the closet ski resort to Calgary and can get very busy on weekends and holidays.
