Comment on Out-of-Bounds vs. Avalanche Areas – What’s the Scoop? by lakelouiselowdown

Thanks for your comment Dwayne.

As far as I know there has been no effort on the part of the ski area to have West Bowl included in its leasehold. I do know that any significant changes to the ski area – including the addition of new terrain – will only be considered if they are included in a long range plan, which is a work in progress and will eventually be submitted for public and Parks Canada review and approval. In other words, if we asked now to have West Bowl added to our lease, the answer would be “no”, but not because of any specific objection to that area. I’m afraid we’re going to have to wait and see.

Great article on West Bowl, I and many others who ski at LL every weekend would feel much better if LL could get West Bowl added to its lease boundary, and have the ability to bomb it when necessary and close it when necessary. Can you comment on if they have tried and what the blockage is: IE Parks Canada. Maybe we need a petition to Parks Canada. I am hoping it doesn’t take a needless death to make this happen.

Dwayne.

It’s amazing to learn what goes into keeping the slopes in great condition for us all. Keep the blog going as it’s getting us warmed up for our next trip out to you in January. It’s our 8th time at Lake louise from the UK so you must be doing something right!

Hey Chris, awesome blog! I enjoyed your most recent post– I was also at Louise for the Men’s World Cup Races in November and the conditions were great.

Random question for you, as you have spent so much time in the area. I’m planning a winter wedding at Emerald Lake Lodge in the spring, and am wondering when the snow generally melts out there. End of March? End of April? Not sure if you ever venture out there or not.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

As a long time Ski Friend, I can say that we will appreciate the new, more detailed maps for giving directions and explaining to our guests the best ways to ski our mountain. Amazing drawings. Can’t wait to see the final product.

Great sketches from a very talented artist. They look like what I have in my head – but better!
