which one is better? i like skiing park/pipe and all mountain. deciding where i should do a season.
 
i'm doing lake louise next year.. the park is sooo flowy and the big mountain riding is always sick because its so cold you never get the melt/refreeze cycle that coastal mountains are prone to, so the snow stays soft for a long time after a dump. the lake louise park is solid as well, if its good enough for eric hjorliefson its good enough for me
 
louise is also close to sunshine which has good snow for pretty much 98% of the season, and within driving distance to kicking horse, definitely close enough for daytrips.
 
if louise was anything like this year the park wont be up till like the last 2 months if they even have a park and they didnt have a pipe this year. Theres was talk about not having one. One a sunny day though with good snow theres nothing like skiing at the lake

 
lake lousise kicks ass. i was there for spring break, hadnt snowed in a week and there was no problem finding deep fresh snow
 
yes Banff is amazing, and i think that as soon as im heading ou west i will either be heding to louis, panorama or kicking horse
 
yeah, lake louise is awesome.. but if for some reason u end up at noshine then u much try out "HELLS KITCHEN" on goats eye. its an interesting run..
