Lake Louise

Lake Louise

Lake Louise Ski Resorts might be the most scenic resort in all of North America, every single run on the front side offers sweeping views of the monstrous mountains that shoot up from the famed Lake Louise which might be the most instagrammed lake in the world. Tucked deep into the Banff National Park, right off Trans-Canada Highway #1 and close to the border of Alberta and British Columbia this resort serves up 4,200 acres of rideable terrain. With that amount of lift serviced terrain it could take you the whole week to explore the whole resort.

Lake Louise in Alberta has a lift system that is quick! It will get you where you need to go and with the views that are on offer at this resort you won’t even have time to spot your next line. To get up into the alpine you will either jump on the 6-person Gondola (great on the cold days) or onto the Glacier Express which is a high-speed quad and offers incredible views whilst you cruise nearly 2kms up the resort. Once up in the alpine area you can meander your way down the green runs back to the village and soak in the vista’s or for the confident riders you can jump off the backside and tackle the famous Lake Louise back side bowls. Black and Double Black Diamond runs galore and where you want to be after a 40cm dump of fresh Canadian champagne powder.
