Lake Louise

Posted

Pros: any type of terrain that you could possible imagine is here

Cons: spotty snow coverage, big ass rocks

Started working there in the winter of 95. Been skiing there ever since. One of the best hills I've skied at. When there's snow. if it's a lean year, it can get pretty bullet proof. Spring skiing at Lake Louise is the BOMB! sweet corn, soft pow on the backside, sweet trees. This place really does have it all

Pros: View, Variety of terrain

Cons: Rocks, ice, poor trail setup on the frontside

Really an overrated mountain. sure there is alot of challenging terrain, but i wouldnt go on it if you want to keep your skis in good condition. horrible snow coverage. even the 10-11 season was brutal on the backside and it was an above average snow year. Rocks everywhere. ice all over the front side. Larch is the only half decent part of the mountain. save the time and go to Sunshine Village.

Pros: The View

Cons: Icy

Lake L is a great mountain, lots of trails to try but I find in Feb kind of cold and icy, but could be just that time of year. Hills are very fast and the view is just breath taking!
