This is a last minute posting. Lake Louise conditions are amazing. Mid winter conditions at the beginning of the season and warm weather too. If we can get a group of us together then it's a go. Let's see what response we get !!!!
Current snow depth at Lake Louise is 113 cm.
Forecasted weather is a mix of sun and clouds
with a high of -4C and 20 km/hr W winds. This trip is intended for all levels of skiers and boarders. We'll break into similar ability groups at the beginning of the day with optional lunch meeting and will gather again at the end of the day. Make sure you know where to find the Home Rd & Montgomery Ave NW car pool location.
We are leaving the Home Rd & Montgomery Ave NW car pool location at 7:00 am sharp. Please arrive 5 mins early (not too early please). DO NOT be late. If you are going to be late call Mark on 403 512-7979 so that we can make arrangements to either wait or not wait for you. We will meet at the main lodge (Ten Peaks Lodge) at 9 AM on the main level by the tables opposite the ATM machine. We'll have lunch at 12:45 pm at the same place. You don't have to meet with the group for lunch. You may continue skiing or have lunch somewhere else. At the end of the day, we will gather up at the base in the Ten Peaks Lodge and will try to leave the hill at 4:30 pm. Lift tickets at Louise cost $92 + GST.
