how long have you been there? you are going to be there for awhile i assume? have you been to Banff or Lake Louise yet, it's only 2 hours to Banff, a little bit longer to Louise. snowboarding/skiing, hit up Sunshine or Lake Louise (I like Louise better, but Sunshine has a longer season). If you're cool with spending a night, come up to Fernie. The snow is epic right now. its around a 4 hour drive though.
hiking... nothing can top Banff. There are so many awesome day hikes, don't even get me started. basic but fun short hike is tunnel mountain (be sure to right to the top, a lot of people don't realize it goes up further, wicked view). a little harder is sulfur mountain. sulfur is cool because at the top you can have lunch and a brew, and just take the gondola down if you don't feel like the hike down. hardcore, mount rundle. super hardcore, cascade mountain.
