Winter Warm-Up Experiences at CF Market Mall

CF Market Mall has launched its Winter Warm-Up experiences, running to December 21.

The celebration brought the thrill of the slopes directly to Calgary with a lineup of high-energy and interactive winter elements. Highlights include an exciting outdoor Snow Stunt Show featuring professional freestyle skiers and riders which took place on the weekend, an indoor curling rink with expert instruction, and special meet and greets with Canadian Olympic stars. The mall’s holiday décor will be enhanced with exciting, immersive winter displays for spectacular photo opportunities.

“This winter, we’re introducing a full slate of fun, high-energy and entertaining experiences designed to bring the community together,” said Paige O’Neill, General Manager, CF Market Mall. “From thrilling snow stunt shows featuring top notch freestyle skiers and riders to immersive indoor curling, our goal is to create memorable moments that truly capture and celebrate the vibrant Canadian winter spirit, both indoors and out.”

To kick off the winter season, CF Market Mall partnered with Sunshine Village to host the thrilling Banff Sunshine Village Snow Stunt Show from December 6 and 7.

The two-day event brought the intense action of the slopes directly to Calgary, featuring professional skiers and snowboarders performing incredible freestyle tricks and aerial stunts on a custom-built terrain park. The high-energy show was located in the East Parking Lot, along Shaganappi Trail, offering a limited-time opportunity to witness world-class talent and high-impact action live and outdoors.

The Canadian winter spirit continues inside with a variety of hands-on activities and exclusive experiences:

Indoor Curling with Curling Alberta: Bay Court will be transformed into a beautiful, photo-worthy winter playground featuring a miniature curling rink. Guests can learn the basics of curling with expert instruction and demos provided by Curling Alberta from Friday to Sunday and open rink play during the week, offering a fun, skill-building activity right inside the mall.
Immersive Photo Moments: Capture unforgettable memories at two stunning, immersive photo displays. The Mountain Escape displays, located in front of Alo Yoga and in Bay Court, feature a real-life Sunshine Village chairlift and gondola, snow-capped evergreen trees, and authentic ski equipment. These displays add excitement and entertainment to complement the mall’s traditional holiday décor. Visitors can snap a photo in Sunshine Village’s luxurious Super Angel chairlift and tag @cfmarketmall and @sunshinevillage on Instagram for a chance to win a Banff Sunshine Village Family Season pass worth over $3,800. Sunshine will choose a winner after activation ends on December 21st.
Olympic Athlete Meet & Greets: As the official Home of Team Canada, CF Market Mall is also proud to partner with the Canadian Olympic Committee and welcome former Olympians and Calgary-natives, Cheryl Bernard and Brad Spence. Cheryl, a silver medalist in curling, was available at the curling rink on November 25. Additionally, top Canadian alpine skier, Brad, is scheduled to appear at the Mountain Escape display on December 13 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. This will give guests the incredible chance to meet these inspiring individuals and take photos against an exciting backdrop.

The Winter Warm-Up experiences, including the thrilling snow stunt show and interactive curling, serve as the perfect complement to CF Market Mall’s full holiday lineup. This season, guests can also enjoy traditional Santa visits, stunning immersive decor throughout the property, live musical performances, and much more, said the shopping centre.
