As much as 30-40 cm of snowfall is expected for areas along the foothills through Friday. Calgary and areas just to the south won’t see quite as much, but will still get a hefty dose for April, sitting in the 10-20 cm range.
Expect difficult travel throughout the duration, especially in Calgary, and along the southern QE2 and Trans-Canada Highway.

There will be more precipitation to come, too.
