One will have the best chances of getting a ride in winter if dressed like a lift attendant or ski patrol, followed by snowboarder/skier (toque, ski jacket, snowpants). In the other seasons, the general rule ''of thumb'' is the younger and less drunk a person looks, the better chance he or she will get a lift.

When hitching between [[Edmonton]] and [[Calgary]], your best bet is getting a ride with a large truck. These trucks only have one passenger seat, so if there are two of you prepare to sit on a cup holder for most of the way. People will be motivated to pick you up if it is cold and you will get a ride faster, although the wait will seem alot a lot longer then it is. Starting out at a truck stop and asking for a ride will greatly increase your chances, as many truckers have a long trip and pick up hitchers for the company they provide.  '''Hitch hiking in Alberta is ''legal! In 2014 September [[User:Bella|Bella]] and a friend were on the outskirts of Calgary trying to get to Edmonton and were told by a police officer that it '''is legal''' to hitch on the highway in Alberta as long as you are away from city limits - Calgary and Edmonton border. The police passed them many times on the highway and kept on going because it is is legal!
