Beginners


The gentle tree-lined runs and the excellent reputation of the local ski school make Lake Louise a perfect choice for the first time skier. Nearby Sunshine Village also has many attractions for novices.

Intermediates

Lake Louise is an intermediate skier’s paradise with its wide variety of long, exhilarating red (they call them blue in Canada) and green trails that offer thrills and challenges from the top to the bottom. More advanced intermediates may venture over to the back bowls and enter the world of powder skiing. Both Norquay and Sunshine Village offer further challenges.

Advanced

Lake Louise offers great back bowl steeps and wide powder bowls. Advanced riders will also benefit from all parts of the Tri Area which offers some extreme terrain and steep mogul fields.

Snowboarding

Lake Louise has a great variety of terrain for snowboarding. Just above the base station there is a great free ride park with half pipe and the back bowls offer ideal steeps and powder riding. Lake Louise is also an ideal resort to learn in as it has a great boarding school.
