Lake Louise ski area is located 45 minutes up the highway from the town of Banff
Most people base themselves there, especially if you’re looking for a livelier atmosphere as Lake Louise itself is very quiet. Along with Sunshine Village and Mt Norquay it forms the “Ski Big 3”, all of which are covered by the same lift pass and are linked by a bus service – although having a car will certainly help.

Pros and cons
- Reliable snow record, especially in early season
- Some of the world’s most spectacular scenery
- Banff is a great resort town, with plenty going on
- Three ski areas set apart so bus rides or a car needed
- Can get very cold and exposed – most chairlifts are uncovered
- Lake Louise village itself is very quiet
On the Slopes
The Lake Louise ski area may be famous for hosting the Downhill World Cup each winter, but in reality the slopes are much more mellow. The frontside of the hill is a network of mostly green and blue terrain, but it does steepen towards the summit above the treeline. Similar terrain can be found under the Larch Express chairlift, which is also home to two top-to-bottom greens.
There’s a good beginner area at the foot of the hill and then good progression on to longer greens served by the Grizzly Express gondola. In good snow years, the Back Bowls offer some serious challenges for advanced skiers and snowboarders, just watch out for rocks early in the season. And of course there’s also the Sunshine Village and Mt Norquay ski areas to explore.
Banff - Lake Louise Resort
There are three options as to where to stay when coming to ski at Lake Louise.
The first is to stay in the impressive Fairmont Chateau Hotel right on the lake itself, the second is to stay in the quiet village of Lake Louise and the third is to base yourself in Banff.
We would recommend the first two if you’re looking for a quiet break and are not as concerned about skiing the other two ski areas. Staying in Banff may be 45 minutes from Lake Louise’s skiing, but it is one of the liveliest resort towns around. It has a fantastic selection of bars, restaurants and things to do – and because it is mostly a summer resort, there is lots of good value accommodation during the winter months.

A cold start to this forecast period rapidly turns mild as the week progresses, albeit remaining dry and steady across most of the Coastals, BC Interior, and Rockies, and indeed over the St Lawrence, too. The BC Interior will see some unsettled weather bring rainfall as the weekend approaches, with similar large downfalls expected in the East.
