The stunning snow-capped mountains of Alberta are drawing in new residents who are eager to embrace the province's ski culture and experience the thrill of outdoor adventure.
More and more people are moving to Alberta . Newcomers say the mountains are part of the draw and hope to immerse themselves in the ski culture tied to the province. For many in Alberta , the snow-covered mountains are more than just stunning scenery — they’re a gateway to adventure and connection. Learning to ski or snowboarding is a popular activity.
Gabriela Reyes, who recently moved to Alberta from Ontario, is embracing the mountains and the sport of skiing at Nakiska Ski Area for the first time. “The views are pretty phenomenal,” she says. “Just trying things outside my comfort zone…this is definitely a first for me.” For families like Enrique Galindo’s, who relocated from Mexico, Alberta’s snowy peaks offer a chance to connect with local culture. “Where we come from, there’s no snow at all,” he laughs. He says he hopes skiing will help his kids learn English and feel part of their new community. The adventure unfolds at Nakiska Ski Area, a former 1988 Winter Olympics site whose name means “meeting place” in Cree. It’s where instructors like Isabella Sacco enjoy helping kids and adults discover mountain magic
