Calgary
big city, little over a million people now, got a pretty good music scene here too, which is cool, plus COP has a rediculously good park, which is really fun to hit up on weekdays.
Aside from that, I think I should mention my mountain, Fernie, British Columbia. Awesome ski town, total relaxed laid back vibe, and amazing skiing. what more can I say? Most of the locals are really cool, but some of the older ones (ie: 40+) can be real a**holes to us "tourists" from calgary. To them, it doesn't matter that I spend 30+ days a year at fernie (all while going to school full time and working part time) or that I've been skiing there for 8 years now, I'm from calgary, and thus don't deserve to be ruining "their" powder stashes. wanks. but like I said, 99% of the people in fernie are awesome, so I wont complain.
