The Paddle Station

My advice is to check the weather before you head out. I didn’t, and we ended up getting rained on halfway through. Bring a light poncho just in case!

Try to go around 10 AM on a weekday if you can. The river was much less crowded then, and I got to enjoy the calm water and beautiful views.

I recommend booking your rental online in advance. It saved me time, and I snagged a discount too! The last-minute rush can be a bit crazy during peak hours.

Bring a waterproof bag or case for your phone! I thought I could wing it without one, and I ended up missing some awesome pics of the scenery
Snow Valley Ski Club

I recommend taking a lesson even if you're not a newbie. The instructors were super helpful, and I picked up some great tips to improve my skills. Plus, it was a nice way to meet others.

My advice is to rent your equipment the night before if you can. It saves time and you won't have to deal with the rush of folks trying to gear up in the morning

I think you should definitely check their website for any discounts. I stumbled on a deal for evening skiing on Mondays, which helped me save a few bucks.
Wheels Training Centre
Sundance Ski & Snowboard Shop

Don't skip the clearance section. I found some great deals on last season's gear that saved me a ton of cash. Really worth checking out before splurging on new stuff.

I think it’s smart to try everything on before buying. They are super friendly and encourage you to test out the gear, so take advantage of that! I wish I had spent more time doing this.

Make sure to ask the staff for local hill recommendations. Their tips on where to ride were a game-changer for me and saved me from looking up all the spots myself

If you're renting gear, try to go on a weekday, especially in the morning. The lines are way shorter and you’ll get more personalized service. I wasted too much time waiting on a Saturday.
Pacesetter Ski Shoppe

If you're unsure about what to buy rent first! I rented a snowboard and later found out I loved a different style than I initially thought. It saved me from making a pricey mistake!
Swim Kids Calgary

I recommend arriving about 15 minutes early before your class starts. It gives you time to find parking and get settled without feeling rushed.

My advice is to check out their package deals if you’re planning multiple visits. It saved me a good chunk compared to paying per class.

If you’re coming with kids, don’t forget to pack snacks! The waiting area doesn’t have many options, and snacks help keep the little ones happy before their turn.
Mountain View Helicopters

I recommend booking your flight in advance since they can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. I missed out on a ride because I waited too long.

Consider upgrading to a longer flight if you're having a great time. The short ones are awesome, but the views just keep getting better!

make sure to dress in layers! it can get chilly up in the air even on warm days. i was underdressed and regretted it!

I think visiting late in the afternoon around 4 PM gives you beautiful sunset views. Just be aware that it might be busy during peak times!
Stampede Driving School

My advice is to bring your own gear if you can. Renting can add extra costs that you don’t expect, and it's more comfortable to use your own stuff.

If you're a beginner or a bit nervous, try to schedule your lesson early in the day around 9 AM. The roads are quieter, and it's a lot less intimidating!

I think it’s worth sticking around after your lesson to chat with the instructors. They’re super helpful and can give you tips that aren’t covered in class.
Eden North Parachute Schools

I think it’s worth investing in the video package; seeing my jump afterward was priceless. Don't forget to bring some snacks, the wait can get long!

I recommend checking their website for discounts on weekday jumps. I saved some cash by booking on a Thursday!
My advice is to arrive by 9 AM, so you can beat the crowd and have a much smoother experience. Less waiting means more fun.
True Blue Swim School

i recommend booking your classes online before arriving. it saved me a ton of time standing in line, plus they sometimes have discounts for early bookings!

My advice is to check the schedule for different skill levels. I showed up for a beginner class and there was a last-minute change, which threw me off. So, keeping an eye on updates might help avoid any confusions!
