Description
The Lake Louise region is famous for its unique ski opportunities and skiers come from all parts of the world to enjoy the region’s pristine snow.
On this adventure, you will discover the backcountry surrounding the Lake Louise, Kananaskis Country, Highway 93 South, and Highway 93 North areas. We will learn powder and ski touring efficiency, as well as help you achieve your backcountry ski goals, always making both safety and fun a priority.
When it comes to off-piste skiing, it is important that participants are in good physical condition. It is also good to have some prior experience, as that will open up more challenging spots for you.
