Lake Louise update

Chuck skied 36K on cold snow today, covering all the bases at Lake Louise: Moraine Lake road, Upper Tramline and the Great Divide.  All the above trails are trackset. The fact that Upper Tramline is trackset is significant because Chuck expects the Moraine Lake road parking lot will be closed…

Moraine Lake road is groomed

This is a nice surprise from Parks Canada, and thanks to Chuck for the photos and trip report.  This is the earliest ever that we’ve had grooming on Moraine Lake road in Lake Louise.  Take note that so far it is groomed only, and not trackset. Grooming leaves a corduroy…
