What Skiers Say About Lake Louise

Lake Louise attracts predominantly intermediate to expert skiers and snowboarders who consistently praise the resort's extensive terrain, including back bowls, tree runs, and varied difficulty levels. Reviews frequently mention excellent powder quality, minimal lift queues, spectacular mountain views, and efficient lift systems including recent upgrades. Negative feedback centres on inconsistent snow conditions with runs becoming icy between storms, expensive food and limited dining options, cold temperatures, parking difficulties especially on weekends, and a subdued après-ski atmosphere compared to European resorts. Several users note the resort works well for mixed-ability groups due to its terrain variety.

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 option for any skier/rider level. Back mountain bowls and powder runs are the place to be. Highly recommend.

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!

Lake Louise ski hill is one of Canada’s largest and most scenic ski resorts. It’s known for its epic views and its family friendly and versatile terrain/layout that boasts an incredibly long ski season (November-May). It’s has over 4200 acres of terrain with 13 lifts and 170 named runs spread across 5 mountains faces. Its Lodge is legendary and skiing Louise is an authentically Canadian experience. 11/10

Quiet slopes, super friendly staff, it’s been a long time since I been to a resort that will help you load your board into the gondola for you! Resort is super well maintained, there’s an ice castle stage where the apres is held which is pretty insane.

Off piste backside is the best! Better for more intermediates and up- the easiest runs may be considered steep by some standards.

Fun resort, very family oriented. Great snow this year, a record for Lake Louise. The runs are pretty wide to give enough space for everyone and the new bubble chair helps warm up between runs.

The mountain is huge, it can accommodate large crowds! Even when the parking lot seems full the mountain wasnt too crowded. 2 new chair lifts in the last few years too!

Great mountain. Theres so much for everyone, ranging from greens to double blacks. you can spend a full day here and not get through half the park. Staff is generally really helpful/ friendly, it makes the whole experience worth it .
