It's too bad they didn't build Calgary 50 kilometers to the west, it would have one of the coolest locations for a city in the world.
It would also be the windiest city in the world if it was 50 kms to the west. The location is perfect where it is because Calgary is somewhat sheltered by a bunch of foothills (which some places would consider to be mountains...lol) and sits in a nice valley surrounded by escarpments. If you live on the west side of Calgary, the mountains are MUCH more visible. The extra 15 - 20 kms closer to the mountains actually makes a difference.
