In the winter, Moraine Lake Road is closed to traffic just off the road to the Lake Louise Chateau and trackset for both classic and skate XC skiing. The trail includes both gently rolling and hilly stretches. Tracksetting ends at a viewpoint of Consolation Valley and the Ten Peaks. We will not be continuing past the viewpoint as that area enters into avalanche terrain.

This is based on $0.16/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle.

Notes:

Winter Safety Considerations
Entered by Sylvia A. on Dec10, 2015.
Terrain Classification: This event is exempted from avalanche planning because it is on groomed cross-country ski trails. We will not be continuing past the viewpoint as that area enters into avalanche terrain.

Note that COC event coordinators are volunteers and are not trained guides. All participants are responsible for assessing the current road conditions, current weather conditions, current trail conditions and current avalanche conditions for the trip.
