Skiing, scenery in Banff and Lake Louise

By Vicky Alkhovsky

When looking for a good spring ski vacation destination, the Canadian Rockies quickly came to mind. I’d always wanted see Banff, so staying at Lake Louise and skiing nearby was the natural choice.

Though the traditional blues and greens of Lake Louise are spectacular, there is a grace and serenity to the quiet, snowy landscape visible from the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise at the base of the lake.

Sights along 1A in Banff National Park speak for themselves in the language of breathtaking beauty. Several inches of fresh snow enhanced every view. Check out my photos:
