Just because you read something on NS doesn't make it true!

No pro line at lake louise this year but enough to keep all but the best jibbers entertained.

The park is ok at the Lake. If you are coming from the east you will love the freeskiing at Louise. What do you mean by backcountry? (not park right)

Louise finally got there park going. Was up last weekend and it was almost done, so I would assume they have it done by now. It looks pretty fly, sunshines park is ok, a few small jumps and some fun rails.

no halfpipes anyware,(except COP in calgary) so thats really gay. you should try and get up to kicing horse at least once. probably a 45-60 minute drive form banff.

I don't consider inbounds resort skiing as backcountry. Thats just me though.

sunshine and louise. except louise=no halfpipe. overall, i prefer sunshine slightly. louise usually has a bit better rails and jumps, but abosolutely no pipe.
