Visitors from around the world flock to Lake Louise Mountain Resort for its stunning scenery. With over 4200 skiable acres on four mountain faces, Lake Louise Mountain Resort is one of the largest and top rated ski areas in North America, and is known as the birthplace of skiing in the Canadian Rockies. Lake Louise was recently ranked one of the top places to ski by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine.

Lake Louise's unique layout allows families and groups of varying abilities to ski together, as there are beginner, intermediate and advanced runs down from every chairlift. Kids enjoy the new Minute Maid Wilderness Adventure Park, where learning to ski and snowboard incorporates basic winter skills, healthy active living, and environmental stewardship. Teens and families love the TELUS Terrain Park, with features for all ability levels.

The advanced and expert skier will find limitless options in the Powder Bowls, a wide-open 2500-acre bowl area, known for its powder, steeps, gullies and chutes! The Resort also features a number of gladed areas for terrific tree skiing.

Relax in one of Lake Louise's four mountain lodges, featuring a wide variety of dining options and facilities. The Torchlight Dinner is not to be missed, featuring hot apres-ski appetizers, a full dinner buffet, live entertainment and a guided torchlight ski down the mountain. The fun and excitement never stops at Lake Louise Mountain Resort!

This is a great ski area - the back bowls are awesome and you can't beat the view from the Larch chair.
