Visitor Reviews of Lake Louise


graeham douglas from CANADA writes:

Lake Louise has the best ski hills in the Calgary area in my opinion. The lifts are generally layed out well. The expert terrain is excellent, with many runs in the back bowls that are easily accessed with one or two lifts and little, if any, walking required. The back bowls also have the advantage of being wind-loaded during storms, meaning a 10cm snowfall elsewhere on the mountain could make for great powder turns on these runs.
Lake Louise does not recieve the snow that surounding areas do, but the quality of snow that does fall is great; cold and fluffy. However, the lack of snow means that Louise has a reputation for being icy and rocky, especially early in the year. The front side is often a place to avoid if it hasn't snowed for a while, as there is extensive snowmaking and the manmade snow can be quite hard. Unfortuantely, this is where most of the beginner-intermediate terrain is.
There is also some good, easier terrain to be found on Larch Chair. Ptarmgan, the 4th face of the resort, is great bumps skiing if the snow is good. It has been a while since I've been there with soft snow, however.
