Lake Louise Ski Holidays
Located 36 miles from Banff, Lake Louise is situated in a small valley at the foot
of steeply forested mountains. Excellent snow conditions are guaranteed with over
30ft of fresh snow falling each year and snow cannons providing coverage to 40%
of slopes.
Lake Louise provides Canada's largest skiable terrain spanning 17 square miles.
It is geared mainly towards advanced and intermediates although there is an adequate
number of beginner runs. As such,Lake Louise attracts serious downhill and cross-country
skiiers who don't want to commute from Banff daily.
The newly expanded Showtime Terrain Park caters for all abilities. The beginner area
is separate to provide a progressive learning atmosphere. The intermediate line
offers larger table features and rails and The pro line area has been designed to
challenge the best riders and contains only the most progressive tables and technical
rails.
Lake Louise is not suitable for night owls because nightlife is limited and generally confined to hotels.
Shopping is also limited, consisting of grocery shops stocking the bare essentials and a ski shop.
