Lake Louise
HUGE SPRING SNOWFALL ADDS TO LAKE LOUISE’S EPIC SEASON
Wide Open Until May 1 – It’s Time To Plan Your Next Visit!

Earlier this season, Lake Louise reported more snow, a deeper snowpack and opened more terrain earlier in the season, making 2006/7 the best year to date. The continued snowfall has kept this trend, with skiers consistently reporting “the best skiing in well over 30 years” all season long.
With over 4200 acres of terrain, 3,250 feet of vertical, 4 mountain faces, #1 scenery and record snowfall, Lake Louise Mountain Resort is a world-class jewel in the Canadian Rockies.

Visit Lake Louise Mountain Resort for Spring Episode ’07, taking place on April 28 and 29, 2007. Featuring live music, on-mountain events, Kokanee Beer Gardens, Kokanee Free Ride and more.
