Feel the Burn: A Lake Louise Deep Dive for Ski Moms

A skier’s guide to leg-burning runs, stunning vistas, and why Lake Louise is worth the effort.

You don’t come to Lake Louise for the spa robes and champagne. You come to feel it in your quads.

You come for the sweeping views, the soul-stirring terrain, and the kind of skiing that earns your après. On a recent spring trip to Banff as a guest of SkiBig3, I spent a day throwing myself into the experience of Lake Louise. It’s a glorious, no-nonsense mountain that rewards adventurous skiers with wild beauty and plenty of challenge.
