These are the 22 Calgary hills you're legally allowed to sled down this winter

Winter is still a month away, but someone must have forgotten to tell Mother Nature because Calgary has already seen quite a bit of snow over these past few months.

While YYC may be going through its usual freeze, snow, thaw routine at the moment, it’s only a matter of time before the white stuff is here to stay for good.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, as the snow covering actually lends opportunity for anyone looking to slip and slide down some hills.

Sledding is a lot cheaper than buying a snowboard pass (it’s actually free if you already have a sled) and the lack of a chairlift is sure to give those legs a workout.

Calgary actually has a bylaw in effect stopping would-be tobogganers from sliding down any hills that haven’t been officially given the green light, but lucky for us there are quite a few on that list.

Everyone has their own favourite sledding spot, but if you’re ever looking to expand your horizons, here are 22 hills in Calgary to slide down this winter:
