Located at the western edge of Calgary, Cougar Ridge is heaven for an outdoor enthusiast and nature lover.

By Mario Toneguzzi


Bounded by Paskapoo Slopes and WinSport, formerly Canada Olympic Park, to the north, 69th Street W to the east, 101st Street W to the west and Old Banff Coach Road to the south, the community has everything together in a compact area for a variety of exciting, challenging and thrilling activities.

With its proximity to COP/WinSport, the ski hills, biking trails and walking paths, towering over the Bow Valley, Cougar Ridge has an active vibe which I love.” – David Pellettier, RE/MAX First

Skill hills, biking trails, and walking paths towering over the Bow Valley entice people to be outdoors as much as they can in this neighbourhood.

The old Canada Olympic Park area is the gathering place for people in the community. Cougarstone Park and Paskapoo Slopes are wonderful spots for both leisurely and challenging bike rides and walks in a stunning natural and peaceful habitat.

WinSport offers a variety of winter and summer activities including: mountain biking, skiing, hockey, outdoor camps, skating, sports training and more. There are also plenty of camps for children to learn new things.

But one thing not too many people realize is that the facility is much more than the ski hill it has been known for over the past few decades and some of the world-class winter sports competitions held there including of course the 1988 Winter Olympics.

WinSport today has evolved into a gathering place for people to watch sporting events like the Calgary Surge in the Canadian Elite Basketball League. It is also home to Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. 

With a live entertainment venue in place as well as food and beverage services, the facility has become a popular place where weddings and galas are catered.

The new Towne Centre in Trinity Hills on land WinSport had for years is home to Save-On-Foods, Sleep Country, Dollarama, PetSmart, Olympia Liquor and GoodLife Fitness. And of course the fairly new Calgary Farmer’s Market is just across Highway 1 on the other side as well as a new Superstore and shopping complex in Bowness at the old Sunnyside Garden site. 

And with 85th Street basically cutting the community in half, there are numerous other shops, services and dining establishments along that increasingly busy street.

That busy street also provides a great quick and easy way out of the neighbourhood going south for quite a distance or as a feeder to Bow Trail and the downtown. And Old Banff Coach Road facilitates an accessible exit from the community to the mountains in the west.

Insights from David.

What does the inventory trend tell us?                        

In each of the last three years we have seen inventory rise and peak in September, this year being no exception. Historically, inventory peaks in May/June. With inventory peaking in September these past three years, we have seen inventory rise again the following year. Might this suggest that inventory will rise again next year? The implications are simple... as inventory rises it comes with the risk of pressure on price. The past two years our inventory levels have been balanced with demand, and pricing has been stable. As we look ahead to 2027, will demand keep pace with supply? Is there a risk that supply might outpace demand? It is anyone's guess. Here in Cougar Ridge, over the past three months, we have seen inventory rise slightly was demand has settled. How might you action this trend? If listing your home is on the horizon in 2027 you may consider bringing your home to market sooner than later, so as to avoid any risk of rising inventories, which could negatively impact price.
