Reviews of Lake Louise Ski Resort (Gym)

Cale Jackson

I loved the open gondola ride. It was oddly relaxing gliding above alpine trees, considering I always thought I was afraid of heights. Perhaps it was the amazing views , the cool, motionless air and the anticipation of a great photo opportunity once we reach the top that offset my fear.

Our family took the Grizzly gondola up to the top. It was a beautiful ride to the top. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the deep snow at the top.

Hill fun, pretty fast today not many people..Disappointing that they close the food / coffee after lunch...we eat a bit later and they had close-by 2...Sunshine you can grab a coffee at end of day...staff are already getting grumpy and season only halfway through...kinda sours day. The price we pay to enjoy a day out is not necessarily what you get.

Great place to enjoy nature and also a chance to see some wild life in action! We got to see a mama bear and her cub! The open gondola ride is so much fun and the views are amazing, especially on your way down as you get to see lake Louise!! The wildlife museum at the top is so informative and interesting,, you get to learn so many facts about different animals, birds and fish that live in the Rockies. Not to forget the restaurant “Whitehorn Bistro”,, has a variety of reasonably priced meals and the patio is amazing! You get to enjoy your meal or simply a cup of tea or coffee while enjoying the beautiful scenery around you. The staff all over the resort are friendly and they’ll be happy to assist you in any way! Try to get the coupons that give u 5$ off each ticket (max of 4 people per coupon) we got ours from the hotel which we stayed at. They have a big parking lot so you won’t have to worry about parking your car (free of charge).

Never again. Even with a half price mountain collective pass I've never felt so ripped off before. The lineups were the worst I've ever seen in 25+ years at any resort, and the so-called "reservation system" is a farce because it's clearly a way to gather contact information versus limit the amount of people on the mountain. The lineup to get on the gondola was about an hour long and each of the lifts were in the neighborhood of 30+ minutes. If I wanted to be overcharged to spend my day standing in lines, I'd go to Disneyland...and I don't want to go to Disneyland. Absolutely brutal.

Rated one of the top ski resorts in Canada for a reason (MANY reasons) The views are beyond stunning. The food and drink options plentiful. The skiing is amazing. There are runs for everyone. I have never had a bad ski day at Lake Louise. You can take anyone there for a great day out and they will love it. Love the gondola and all the lifts are nice and obviously well maintained. It's truly a paradise of great views and great skiing

My second favourite resort in all of Canada! Great terrain and many options to choose from. I was lucky to be there for an 80cm snowfall!

Sophie Lussier

Only a short drive from Calgary and we were able to enjoy this resort and area for a day of exploring the mountains. Alberta has so much to offer us and happy to have spend the day here. Everyone is friendly and accommodates us very well, thanks

Phenomenal resort. I’m a medium-skilled snowboarder, and this is my favourite resort in Alberta. Variety of runs, lots of trees, and the staff are good about slowing the chairlifts down when I fall getting off (hasn’t happened in awhile, I swear!) There are also multiple dining options, both at the base and mid-mountain. Honestly, it’s enough to visit just for the stunning mountain views. The nachos don’t hurt, either.

Austin Froese

Phenomenal staff from rentals to lift . Great lodges . Beautiful view and not so crazy line up.

Sahil Verma

We’ve been coming to Lake Louise Ski Resort for years but this past winter so far we’ve come more than ever! Since discovering the Plus Card and all the cool deals that Lake Louise has we’ve really enjoyed our trips that much more! Not to mention Lake Louise is one of the nicest resorts with some of the most fun runs we have ever been on! ????

Craig Portell

Couldn't recommend a better ski hill: great and diverse terrains, beautiful mountain, nice staffs, and good and affordable food options (for a ski hill). Wouldn't recommend this hill for a beginner though... Intermediate and advanced skiers would def have more fun here

Curtis Lester

One of my favourite resorts, tons of terrain ranging from beginner to expert, both on and off piste. Wide range of options for lunch, some cool on mountain restaurants. Although, it is quite expensive. Friendly staff, and excellent ski patrol.

Ian Jolicoeur

Fantastic skiing. Really great conditions. I highly recommend this resort. I have been come here 4 years straight. Love this resort.

Chef Sarah

Still the top pick for Rockies skiing. It offers the best scenic view from many trails. Easily accessible, fast gondola and lifts. Amenities are quite new. Go there early on a nice Sunny day .Can use more parking spaces and should follow Sunshine's idea using a pick up lorry or a bus from distant parking lots. Very helpful ground staff

Cody Kroening

Crazy good runs, well groomed, beautiful views. Also has a burger for $8.50 in the main lodge, can’t complain. Plus card is $99 and you get your 1st, 4th and 7th time lift ticket for free.

Abigail Martin

Sarah govaert is absolutely amazing, we had some issues with a lift pass and she was so helpful. We will make this our new favorite spot !!!!! A+

Wes Will

I really don’t understand why there is so much love for this resort. The lineups are absolutely insane when the snow isn’t even that good. Gondola lineup was 45minutes and all of the lift lines were at least 30 minutes as well. Unacceptable really

Bryan Ewasiuk

Amazing mountain, many high speed qauds/6 person chairlifts, lines move fast and staff are super friendly! Ps thanks for including everyone the best you can this season!

[Attention Lake Louis, this is a complaint letter to you.] We were lining up at the Grizzy Express gondola earlier today. There was no sign indicated if anyone does not want to share the gondola with other groups that group needs to go lining up again at the other lift chair across from this Gondola. (This is the background) So when it was our turn to hop on the gondola the gentleman named “Dave Shebek” asked us if we were ok sharing the Gondola with others. I declined the offer. He then told us we need to wait aside. After awhile he told us “Alberta government approved us to run the gondola with full capacity, if you refused to share with others then you need to wait till the line clears up more, everyone has two doses of vaccines” then he made us wait aside, with the attitude. I explained the reason for not sharing the gondola this time was because I need to take off my mask. (I need to adjust it while riding to the top of the mountain). And I don’t want others to feel uncomfortable. I also expressed that I’m not happy with what he treated us. He said “Well That’s your problem.” “…….?!” I told him this was my right to ask for what I need. He told us if that’s the case, we want to consider lining up at the lift chair this time and moving forward. “…….?!” After some back and forth conversation, he finally let us go. I thanked him. However I am writing this review here because I believe the kind of help/service/guidance we have received from him was not right. Dear Lake Louis, please kindly let me know if this was the way you run the business. Do you support your Staff/Member give attitude to random riders when they have some “special requests” (and is this special?) I consider myself as an easy going person, which I don’t mind to share most of the time. However, with the current condition of pandemic, can a staff/member force the riders or give attitude like this? What we have revived today only worth 1 star rating. I gave 3 stars for the others hard work. Thank you.

Really enjoyed my day out on the hills of Lake Louise. Facility itself was well maintained and full of amenities. The staff was readily available for any questions or issues that may have come up. Plenty of room to sit and relax with options for dining and shopping. Overall highly recommend the hills, fresh pow and scenery.

Manthan Kakadia

A hikers paradise! Do the teahouse hike! You won't regret it! What an awesome day, and such a beautiful place! You could easily spend 3-4 days hiking different trails! We didn't stay at the hotel but came back and hiked 3 different trails. Absolutely amazing trip!

Shubham Patil

Really rude staff, steadily dealing with them power tripping about whatever they can and wasting your time. And they also lie about snow reports and which runs and lifts are open they claimed great snow conditions and all runs were open, numerous runs were closed and the hill was extremely icy. I won't be going back there anymore. Waste of a day when you could go anywhere else and get more skiing in and not be on pure ice all day.

Bobbi Brown

Unbeatable! Soooo worth the time to come here every chance I get! Hands down the best ski resort I’ve been too!

Emely PAsumbal

Love this amazing resort. Not very crowded.

Definitely one of the best ski resorts in Canada The Staff is friendly and the slopes are great. Large diversity of trails and fantastic views. If your into skiing it's the place to go!

My family really loved this mountain. We came after the holiday period and it was perfect crowd wise. My son was enrolled in ski school and he didn't want to leave. They have a good learning area and the staff were really friendly. The food was better than expected, even the hot dog tasted good. Food/drinks were on the pricier side but that's to be expected. The rental equipment is in very good condition so you don't feel like it's cheap or over used. I did the 2hr sightseeing snowshoe tour with Maggie and thoroughly enjoyed it. She was knowledgeable and really liked educating people about the mountain and terrain. Lots of powder on the mountain which made it surreal. Unbelievable views for those like me who weren't skiing but wanted to do something active. We can't wait to go back.

Dennis Tomiuk

Such a great ski hill... love the backside of the mountain, especially the Paradise Bowl. Which there was more option for lunch but we do understand that is harder with the Covid19 restrictions.

Allison Scott

4* resort. One of the best runs in Rockies. Foot rest bars on most lifts, but no wind guards. Some renovation would be nice. Quite expensive. Bad COVID policy. -2* for the 2021/22 season ! Most resorts require vaccination or negative test and no face masks on chairlifts. Lake Louise requires masks instead. It makes me crazy because of glasses. Many people do not respect this rule. It is hazard for other guests - possible COVID positive people without masks.

Alexandre Beaumont

extremely cold, love the tours, gorgeous view

SY Lam

This is the second time visiting lake Louise ski resort. We love this mountain. Both times we had great skiing conditions. The dry snow is beautiful to go skiing and look at. The mountain ranges around is amazing. There’s a lot of different difficulty skiing slopes. I especially love the Sawyer nook restaurant on the mountain. The food was amazing. Recommend getting the Lake Louise card for discounts.

john peterson

My favourite resort but not for the season 2021-2022. No vaccination verification or negative test is required for chairlifts ! ! ! Why no tests? They care about money but not about safety.

Had a good time. The restaurant menu at the top was a bit disappointing for trying to feed kids so we didn’t eat as we had planned, but did bring a picnic so all was not lost. Had a nice hike, very friendly staff. The lifty Michael was extremely friendly, my husband and I really appreciated his conversation.

Jeremy C

I had an awkward fall at the top of Ptarmigan chute and pulled a calf muscle so couldn’t ski. Called the Ski Patrol and Amy showed up 10 min later. She called for a toboggan and James arrived within a few minutes. Given that we were at the top of a double black, Tom arrived as well. Somehow they got me down a double black on a toboggan. James was exhausted and was amazing. Hats off to the entire team. Very professional and super nice throughout. Thanks for the snowmobile ride Monique. Hope to see you all in about a month or so. Also thanks to Larry and Colleen for their help. Curtis Lester.

If you know how to make the best of it, you will find the tickets worth it. I didn't do much as I reached there late (without proper gear). The peak, where the cable car takes you is super-high. A lot of routes to ski down or snowboard down!! Safety is taken care of. They put soft spongy thing in front of pillars/trees where there is a chance for people to crash!! Food and other services are good too!!

First experience skiing west, and i chose a classic: Lake Louise. Just wow! No big touristic village here, just a lodge with what you need, and pure fun on the slopes. That's what i came for. A place for real ski and snowboard lovers. I was lucky enough to get 1 foot of fresh pow, so i guess i experienced the bowls and stuff like Rock Garden in their best shape. 5 stars for me, would recommend to any one.

Travis Smith

Had our wedding here recently. Absolutely wonderful. We had a couple hiccups on our side of planning and they were so helpful and accommodating! Beautiful venue. Delicious food. Attached just married sign to our chair lift on the way down. Very cute. Would definitely recommend for a mountain wedding.

Laura Green

Took private lessons with my brother and we got paired up with Roland who made our experience incredible! He was constantly supportive of teaching us how to improve our skiing and was super patient with us as beginners. His feedback greatly improved our abilities and within the full day we were more confidently finishing the green runs (which have some sections that are more like blue runs). Definitely made our day on the slopes much better!
