First time at Lake Louise and it was great. It had 7cm during the night and the tracks were amazing almost no ice. Planning going back again soon

Lake Louise was incredible. It had snowed all month and the powder was amazing. So many excellent tree runs. I took a free guided tour with the ‘ski friends’ and they showed me the best spots. Lots of great food options and they opened a new lift which gave space for a bunch of new runs

Beautiful mountain with many different areas depending on ability. New chairlift installed that allows beginner/novice skiers to have an area in the mountains (not just the base) to explore. Many lifts that are for the more experienced rider, keeping the experts and novice separated. Views are exceptional. Food quality was great. Some mogul runs were so rutted they were unsafe in my opinion. So much terrain, you'd need multiple days to explore it all.

Great place to snowboard or ski. Would highly recommend. Had so much fun in the woods. Going through the rock gardens and hitting the park! Runs were nice and long. Chair lifts were fancy. The food was good and the hill was not over crowded. Will definitely go back if given the chance

Lake Louise is our home hill when we're not skiing in Manitoba. We are senior season pass holders who appreciate the economy and value offered here for our on-snow experience. The range of runs, number and quality of lifts (particularly the new ones), and access to some of the best race training slopes in Canada have made it our happy place for 45-50 days of the winter. As a race coach, I look for my fun on groomers most of the time, but the regular snowfalls keep it fresh enough to satisfy my occasional cravings for pow. My wife is particularly fond of the Ski Hosts program there and has experienced more of the mountain comfortably and safely in this way than she would have otherwise. We visit three times a year, 9-12 weeks a season, and plan to keep doing it. till we can't

I have been to Lake Louis several times and always had a great experience. I find the back side of the mountain to be my preference as it’s slightly less crowded with more tree runs. It’s can get a bit wind blown particularly right off the lift on the backside but always has pretty good snow. The last trip in March of 2024 I had not been to a mountain in several years and was rusty but was still able to enjoy all of the runs my family were doing who ski more frequently.

For mid run food I love the Temple Lodge. It can be crowded but there always seems to be just enough room.

At the bottom of the mountain I was disappointed with some of the restaurants closing quite early but the options that remained open were still enjoyable.

Lake Louise deserves its legendary status. The only downsides to the hill is that it gets so many sunny days that it often doesn’t have a ton of powder days or huge snowpack, there’s no BX course, and it’s cold. Other than that, it has everything including every sort of terrain, incredible groomers, perfect dry snow, some of the best views in the world, and top notch spots to eat and drink on the hill like Temple Lodge. Must-visit ski hill in Canada.

Beautiful runs & lots of nice lifts that are well placed. Pre-season is the best, when the slopes and lift lines are significantly quieter! But peak season their après game is strong & they even have an ice bar - a lounge area and bar built completely out of ice. It's pretty sweet!

Fast lifts, single line if skiing alone speeds things up. Nice wide runs, plenty of black runs and plenty of terrain for off piste skiing. There is great choice of restaurants at the main area at the bottom.

I enjoy this place, it’s very beautiful but sometimes the runs are icy or have low visibility. The last time I went it was very beautiful and just freshly snowed. The lifts are fast, some time gondola has a long line up.

One of the BEST out there! The view is absolutely beautiful. Team is very kind and welcoming to support beginners. It gets a little crowded so the earlier you arrive the better.

Great terrain and some very challenging runs. Terrific scenery.
Snow was excellent. No onsite accomodation. A skier's hill.

One of my favourite hills! The skiing is incredible since it offers great groomed trails but it’s also very easy to get to untouched snow in the back bowls. The food at the resort is also damn good!
