Snowboarders have access to all trails, the terrain parks and a super pipe.
The Lake Louise sightseeing gondola is opened year round, offering panoramas of glaciers, natural springs, wildflowers and possibly wildlife (such as grizzly bears).
Other activities in the resort area include heli-skiing, dog sledding, ice skating, and cross-country skiing.
