Ski Louise.


Today Dale and I went up to the ski fields for the first time since the disastrous attempt on New Year's Eve. Our resort of choice was Lake Louise. There hasn't been a great deal of snow since Xmas so the conditions were mediocre at best. I had a few high speed slides once the ice started to appear under the grooming. No major injuries, but was a bit bruised by days end.
Above is the view from about half way up the mountain. To the right of shot,  Lake Louise at the foot of the V-shaped Valley. Moraine Lake and the Valley of Ten peaks is over to the left. Not a bad view considering it's just a ski hill.


At the top of the ridge, the view just gets better. Above & below is the Lake Louise Valley where you can just make out the Fairmount. On the other side of the mountains is British Columbia.
