Lake Louise, Alberta

Friday, March 27, 2026

Sunny, temps rising from the single digits to near 30. Just the AM today before heading back to Banff.

Lake Louise is spectacular. Views everywhere.

Started with a scratchy groomer frontside before heading up to the summit and skiing one of the alphabet gullies. I think B? Anyway, pretty soft snow there, good turns. Then headed up Paradise chair, down 4/5 shoulder, and into a newly opened zone (Lower 5 maybe?). Suuuper heavy, but really deep snow. Got a little cliffed out but picked my way around. Good fun.

Then a run through Rock Garden, which was a fun landscape but not great skiing, followed by a ripping groomer.

Ended the day with a long relaxed ski down to the base.

Really fun, wish I could have stayed longer.
