Last night in Alberta so closing ceremonies underway. Solid day at Lake Louise though never saw any lake nor anyone named Louise. Just one helluva mountain and with it a nicely laid out ski area. Plenty of verticle and thousands of acres to rip it up on. The front side is mostly cruisers, groomed and today pretty "hard packed". Backside is steep, from wide open bowls to narrow "you better not blow it" chutes. About 2" of new snow was reported but depending on where the wind blew it, we actually got to make some tracks. I made a big mistake, waxing for cold snow, when in fact shouldn't have touched our ski's...Our first few runs were like being velcroed...Luckly I had scraper in the car. Spectacular scenery, magnificant baselodge, and they now make HOMEBOYS in their apres ski bar.
