I was thinking of going up to Lake Louise this weekend because they have been getting a bit of snow as of lately. I was wondering if anybody has been up recently and could give a half decent read out on how things are progressing as in snow conditions and skiable terrain.

ive been working there the past two weekends working the world cup
so i got some free skiing in
the bottom is oh so boring
top of the world is scarce
summit platter backside is good(ie. brownshirt and north cornice) are really good, but watch out for the bombholes, they hurt
dont go past paradise chair, its the cat track till ptarmigan chair
but, that recent dump gave more snow
so
have fun

actually avi conditions are rated serious right now and with this 70 cm of new snow it ads a serious factor of risk to avi conditions, so you cant say the snow is super stable right now. Many slopes are suffering from hair trigger type avi's and the are occuring frequently.

just so you know...

I went up to Louise on Saturday and it was actually really quite good, They will be needing some more snow in the near future, because there are a number of rocky areas, but it is looking really good for this time of year. The backside is really good, boot top powder to be had.

yeah, i was at Sunshine on saturday and Louise on Sunday.  Louise was definitely better.  Even though saturday was so clear at Sunshine, there were so many obstacles in the pow off the runs.  it was so sketch.  Definitely got a few base scratches there. 

Louise on the other hand was super fun.  Skied the backside all day and the snow was usually really good.
