About Lake Louise Ski Resort

Lake Louise is the biggest resort in the Canadian National Parks. You have four mountain faces with over 4,200 acres of pure Canadian mountain goodness. This place truly gives you a “resort” feel. There’s a reason the world cup ski tour makes Lake Louise a race site. The addition of the Summit Quad Chair (replacing the Summit Platter) now allows easier access to explore the vast 480 acres of new terrain in the West Bowl as well as the back bowls. This year there is a new Juniper Express Quad located near the Whiskey Jack Lodge that will bring guests to three new runs and maximize the appeal to Intermediate and Beginner riders.
