i would go to whistler. i have been to both and whistler is way better. Lake Louise might not even have a park next year. plus it gets really icy at louise and the terrain isn't as steep.

go to whistler. I think by that time kickinghorse is closed and louise is not as good as whistler. banff is pretty fun though.

If kicking horse is still open over your spring break then check it out, you will not be dissapointed, the mountain is fucken nuts. Plus you can divide your trip up between lake louise and kicking horse. That would be a good trip.

I grew up skiing Lake Louise and now I live in Whistler- but I'd say if you're younger and don't want to get too bored I'd go to Whistler because you have the whole village to keep you entertained. Lake Louise is sick and I totally recommend it, but it isn't THAT much cheaper for lift tix so you might as well spring for the Whis trip.

What time of year? Lake Louise/Sunshine have good late season April/May but don't get as much snow mid winter.

I'd go to Whistler because I ski LL/Sunshine every week.

don't make your decision till like a day or two before you have to go. whoever had snow last (or idealy whoever is getting the snow at the time) is where you WILL go.

Lake Louise is super sick on a powder day. and the snow is lighter than Whistler... but there's just so much stuff to drop at whistler and the snow is so deep that the snow doesn't really have to be the lightest... if you don't care for park than just go where the snow is.

I mean, even Blue Mountain, Ontario is fun on a powder day.
