Well, maybe it's not unusual in Banff or even Canmore... but in Calgary? C'mon... you guys actually have to build to a lower snow load than we do in Vancouver. (Speaking of which, the flowers are coming up nicely, thank you for asking. )

Look down this page for Calgary's record snowfalls... 48cm fell in one day, once... back in 1981.

Those teams back east get walloped every couple of years. But at least they have FRC regionals within 1,000km of their home school without having to start their own!
