Lake Louise ski resort overview:
Lake Louise Ski Resort sits inside Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, and is the largest ski area in the Canadian Rockies. It spreads across four mountain faces and about 4,200 acres, with roughly 145 to 164 runs depending on how they're counted. The resort is part of the Ski Big 3 pass area with Banff Sunshine and Mt Norquay. The base sits at 1,646 m and the summit reaches 2,637 m, giving a vertical drop of around 991 m. The terrain is well balanced, with roughly a quarter beginner, 45% intermediate and 30% advanced. Before your first run, study the Lake Louise trail map to see how the front side and the back bowls connect. The Whitehorn summit offers dramatic views, and the longest run stretches about 8 km. Beginners are well looked after at the Sunny Side area, which has gentle slopes and a magic carpet. Stronger skiers can head for the steeper chutes and open bowls at the back of the mountain. Snow is reliable thanks to the cold, high-altitude climate, and the season typically runs from November to early May. The resort also hosts the opening World Cup downhill races of the season. Pick up a printed Lake Louise trail map at the base, or download one beforehand. Calgary airport is roughly 190 km away.
