My first time skiing LAKE LOUISE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Lake Louise ski resort is absolutely unbelievable. Of course, I knew the views of the rockies were going to be gorgeous. But, I was absolutely blown away by the size of this resort and the amount terrain. If there was a mountain ranking system based on 'fun per acre' Lake Louise would rank top of the list. We lucked out with a fresh dusting of snow and skied fresh lines all day long. We did our best to explore all of the corners of the resort and even had time for chili and a pint in the gorgeous lodge. Lake Louise and Banff are really making me second guess my choice to live near Whistler. I think I need to move to Alberta.

Louise and Ferni are all a person needs. 💥🔥
Thanks brother!
I seriously don’t know how he uploads these videos so fast
He edits while driving between resorts 😅
They were already skiing AB when the Kimberly video came out 11 days ago, it's not like they're being uploaded the day after
Definitely the Neuralink hahahahah
Just call it The Lake and you'll be In Like Flint with Les Locos... most scenic ski area in Canada... maybe the world.
Thank you guys for the best day I've had skiing, since I had to stop for good----I've never stopped missing the feeling I had on those runs you did today! I was making all the turns with you. (Loved shooting through those trees.) My friend lives in Banff, but I've yet to get out to see her place. I always wanted to see and ski beautiful Lake Louise--and now, I (well-- sort of)--have! Thanks, guys for sharing a phenomenal day! Lynn in NYC
You've gotta go for a visit to Banff to see your friend. It's just as beautiful in the summer as it is the winter. Well worth the trip :)
Love seeing you boys shred my local! 2nd gate Whitehorn is always a blast!
I'm a 3rd gate man myself :P
Can’t go wrong there 🤙🏻
Could ski Whitehorn all day long!
never seen it called that only Whitehorn 1, Whitehorn 2 thats interesting. My group would say what he skied was into the top of Whitehorn 2 and going left across into A gully.
Glad the sun came out at least a bit for you so that you could see that Lake Louise is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The restrictions on development, within the park, make the place a bit like a trip back in time, including the incredible buildings which were built at a time with different values and costs. Great soundtrack on this video, both the lack of and, when there, some interesting and new tracks. Another great adventure.
Lake Louise views are absolutely out of this world. Stoked we got a wee bit of fresh snow too. I'm not sure if I could focus on skiing with a bluebird day, would be way to much to look at hahaha
That Paradise chair is one of the most scenic lifts I've ever been on.
So scenic it should be illegal
I would imagine that you guys are skiing Sunshine today. I really hope that you guys can sneak Norquay in on the trip. Banff is certainly beautiful, but I usually stay in Canmore.
Canmore rocks! Always home base for me in the summer when I'm sleeping in the truck and hiking. You know the boys are going to gravitate towards the Dive :). New video coming out Thursday.
Buddy has never gone a whole video without saying fall line
LOL - someone count how many times I say fall line?
Here now - snow fantastic except for first day six days ago... resort gave us a free ticket after one run saying too icy and hard. Gotta love that
That's rad they comped a ticket for bad conditions. Vail would never do something like that in a million years.
Whistler guy now but grew up skiing Sunshine/Louise, lots of nostalgia vibes watching this... Lake Louise especially is such a great place to ski.
Glad I could bring ya back. I bet you wouldve been the perfect person to guide u around the lake.
Thanks!
Really appreciate that brother. Way to kind!
I’ve never seen anything like that. The open ski run kinda like a bowl was just so satisfying to watch!
I was super shocked with how much amazing open terrain there is at LL. It's size reminded me a lot of Whistler. Would take a while to get to know the in's and outs of this mountain
So good!! Welcome back!
Happy to be back for real this time!
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel and blog! You guys are awesome and I'm so glad to see you hitting up LL. Hope you make it to Marmot one day too!!
Love it when your day is made in the first 2 runs. Epic day!🙌
Thos are the best kind of days
Ahhhh Louise will always be such a special place to me. Glad you and the boys enjoyed your time, looked like an epic day!
Louise Rocks! My only regret is not skiing a few more days!
Wake. Bake. Go to the Lake. ❤
Ahhh, the memories ... if only I could remember them.
My home mountain for a few years when I lived in the Park.
Hiking Brown Shirt and dropping North Cornice for breakfast.
"Lac Loui"? No.
"Lake Lousy" is the appropriate derogatory term of endearment for this beautiful mountain mistress.
Welcome to the ROCKies!
So you're familiar with the 'no smoking zone' Rob and I found. Heck, maybe you built it?
@@riseandalpine I didn't build it, but I appreciate those who did. 🤙
Great video of my home mountain! I'm heading up there in a few minutes. Can't wait!
What a brilliant spot to call home!
Always enjoy the content. Thank you!
Really appreciate that thank you! Straight to the coffee and gas fund :)
Thanks for showing us Lac Louise. Looks like a great place. You guys are great.
Thanks for coming along. Easily one of my favourite mountains I visited.
This is the definition of Ski Vlog.
A new niche!
Superb!
Congrats on the 25K Sub mark James , I have been enjoying your ski tour of BC .😊😊
Thanks so much John. It's been a wild ride so far and it's really cool to see the effort paying me off and allowing me to see more of BC!
Wow what a beautiful place never knew lake Louise was that magnificent!!! So spices jealous!
Louise is absolutely stunning. Worth the trip any time ofo the year!
Finally a good upload, epic conditions at my home resort.
You're lucky to call this one home!
Now I see why Lake Louise is so kick ass. That was a great overview in 25 minutes. I can only imagine what actually being there would be like.
I first heard of Lake Louise from a Max Webster song back in 1980. April in Toledo from Universal Juveniles.
“April in Toledo
I’m talkin’ to myself… talkin’ to myself
She’s hiding out in Lake Louise
Says she’s takin’ a break from my face.” Lol
A great Canadian rock album!
I'm going to have to listen to that song now!
Check out “Battle Scar” too, from the same album. It’s Max Webster and Rush playing together.
Killer song!
That..... was kickass.
Great video! Lake Louise and Ski Big 3 are great, I can't wait to get back.
The Big3 are the best!
Wow I loved this. I swear I could feel the great atmosphere in Banff in the town. We dropped people off there and drove through the town years ago before dropping off a couple more at Lake Louise on our way to Jasper back in 2005. It’s on my bucket list to go back one day for sure. Thanks again James👌🇬🇧
Banff is jaw droopingly beautiful. Canmore/Banff are also one of my favourite places to be in the summer for hiking. Breathtaking every direction you look.
@@riseandalpine You are lucky living in such a beautiful part of the world.
If you've done southern Alberta's sleeper hit - Castle, you need to do central Alberta's sleeper - Marmot Basin
I really want to try Marmot! It's an extra push to get there but man, the IP is my favourite drive in the world!
Jasper has a way better feel than Banff it's awesome Marmots not nearly as big as Louise but it's always a good time
You taught me everything about Whistler when I moved there as a Lake Louise local. the only mountain I had skied on was Lake Louise throughout many hundreds of days on the mountain and I know it like the back of my hand, and going to Whistler for the first time I watched your videos to learn another mountain for the first time. Sick to see you enjoying the Lake, if you'd see it on a bluebird sunny day its so unreal and you got to Enjoy my favourite run H gully although its pretty rocky this year!!
Would have loved a little more snow in the Gullies. They were quite peppered but seem like insanely fun terrain! I could only imagine how nice it would be on a full blue sky day. Probably impossible to ski the views would be so good.
So cool to see you in my old stomping grounds! I freaking love LL.
We needed ya there to tour us around!
James, I would have been available to tour you around the Lake but you guys seemed to have gotten around just fine on your own. When we get low vis it's definitely into the trees and you now know there are lots of trees. In West Bowl the pruning has just begun and gets better every year plus the Juniper 2 chair next year will make for faster laps. The snow situation this year has been terrible but will no doubt improve next season. Yes Alberta is drawing lots of folks for a number of reasons, the mountains being only one. Peace Out.
Hey Paul! Would have been a blast to get a tour from you. Glad you think we did an okay job at touring ourselves around. We'll be back next season for sure with a hopefully deeper snow pack. Would take many seasons to really get to know every corner of the Lake.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We were there earlier this year and absolutely loved it! The snow holds up really well even if hasn't snowed for weeks. And the facilities were excellent. There's a reason it's rated by some sites as the top resort in Canada.
Glad you had a great time as well. It absolutely is a top contender for best resort in Canada!
Great stuff! Lake Louise is one of my favorites.
Already itching to get back to the Lake!
Great work James! Love it so much! I'm going to LL next season for sure!!
Thanks! You totally gotta check out the Big3. All the mountains rock.
@@riseandalpine I went SSV Last January and it was Rocky af! But I'm still impressed by the mountains! Thanks again! Keep shredding dude!
Bro I'm literally on my way there now I'm so stoked
Enjoy!
For me to make a video like this would take me soooooooooo long. Probably 2 days at least. These are awesome!
I have been moving , so I had been away from YT for awhile . Looking forward for more great content from you James .
Thanks John! Lot's to catch up on :)
I told you... Lake Louise is unreal. Too bad it wasn't a bluebird day so you could soak up the best views the Rockies has to offer. But still looks like an awesome day!
You were so right!
missed you by one day homie 😆 skied the next three days here after you. Some of the best lines of my life. I’ve gotta try that boot pack the next time I find myself there!
Glad you got in on the snow! What an epic resort.
If you wonder why you'd climb down stairs, just wait until Sunshine when you do Delerium Dive! =P
I'm surprised there was enough snow to get down that on skis, usually it's pure rock
I'm jumping straight into the dive. Mark my words!
Grabbed a mountain collective pass for next season. So pumped to ski here.
Sick! You're gonna love it.
Hoping I run into your crew this week James. Amazing content as always. Gonna be at revelstoke, Louise, and sunshine for Easter. 7 days
Maybe we'll see ya out there!
Was worried that you were gonna miss West Bowl but you found the stairway to heaven!
Glad we managed to find it amidst the fog! Great terrain back there
Lake Louise is one of the better mountains around there for sure
100% - such a sick spot
I'm not sure if it's the editing, but I'm not having nearly the amount of vertigo I was feeling from the 360 camera in the past. Keep it up.
I've played with the angle a little bit more and using the desktop app to make it even more flat, glad it's working!
@@riseandalpine It's working for me.
15:16 that is the best ive seen powerline in three years you lucky duck
Had no idea that it was a sought after line. We were just looking for some pillows of the other side but we got lured straight down because the fall line was so nice.
Another AWESOME ski day & video. Imagine the lines you could have skied if it was sunny? I have the stickers on my helmet now. I will put a “Ski Fast Burn Ass” sticker on my Atomic Redster X9. Snow is in the forecast for Switzerland… don’t worry I will be checking in. Let me guess… Panorama is next on the list?
Oh i live for pano! The boys will love it if they hit it up!
Enjoy that fresh snow! You bet we'll be rolling through Pano :)
Your friends are hilarious
I love em' such beauties eh
Marmot basin video incoming?!?
That might be the one mountain we don't manage to make it too. You never know though.
@@riseandalpine Marmot's had the lowest snow call 291 cm thus far this season. I'd say come back next and combine it with a touring day down Parker Ridge.
'BERTA!!
Skied there a couple days after you…and when the white out hits makes these runs very dangerous…how you ski that well down a very steep pitch in brutal sight conditions is very impressive…you were in the G, H I sections I stay in the D, E lines…less rocks!
Next time I'll try D & E! Honestly couldn't see where I was going :)
Yea boiiz! Looks super stokeworthy. How much vert you figure you have so far James? Have a target?
What's up Anton! No clue how much vert I've skied on the year. I don't really track things like that, just want to ski as many days as possible!
Hey James great video of my home hill. Would been awesome to shred those slopes with you. 🎉🎉🎉
Would have been a blast to shred with a local!
I did the skibig3 last year and loved every minute of it. If you hit up Sunshine I hope Delerium dive is open for you. Keep up the dope videos man.
With the Big3 being so good it's hard to know why you would go to Whistler! You know I'm headed straight for the DIVE.
Gotta hit skoki bowl again. Has some of the best cliffs at Louise
100% - we'd need a little softer conditions to drop cliffs, had a serious crust underneath this day
Bro u gotta be making up these trail names at this point😂😂brown shirt first is legendary hahah
Officially, it's Brown Cow Main now (First is the line on the other side of the right rock wall). The name changed a few seasons back
Hilarious right! Ski hills out here have the best run names.
Could you please do a gear check video? Best ski content!
Here's the one I did at the start of the season. th-cam.com/video/dQeEJDPaxNo/w-d-xo.html
Lots of updates throughout this season though. I've broken many things LOL
gosh i felt like there would be no hot sauce this video quite late in.
either way
SKI FAST BURN ASS - Rise & Alpine
We never forgot the sauce!
Dude, wish I knew you were at “the Lake.” Lots of killer terrain you missed. ✊ lmk next time you’re in Banff and will show you why it’s a Top 5 resort in North America.
Would love some local guidance the next time I'm in town!
That’s a deal. I also worked at Sunshine too so can show you what the locals call a “super lap” between delirium dive and Wild West.
Btw I was on the chair behind you when you filmed Norquay’s opening day. 😂
Go to vancuver and rate cypress mountain semormountin and grous mountain
He done videos on em 👍
I really wanted to ski them this season but the snow has been so bad that a review video wouldn't do them justice. Maybe next season!
Lak Loui....
⛷💥💨
lets gooooo
Yeeehaw
Too bad about the vis; definitely a day for trees, but you still hit most key zones; mainly just the boundary bowl / north cornice area was absent as well as Tower 12 (and obviously West Bowl is too big to see all of in a day).
Ptarmigan chutes needs quite a bit of snow to open but the tree line the other way is usually fun as you found.
Glad we did an okay job navigating, it's always tricky at a new hill on a lower vis day. The views we did get to see were absolutely mind bending though.
In my opinion this hill is the best in 2 things....1) Best for lapping a ton of vert/laps, and 2) The best to handle large crowds! We skied it yesterday, parking was full, yet we had the runs to ourselves.
Great lap choices, would of loved to have guided u guys around to the "stashes". Only critique is, I would of left larch/Ptarmigan chairs till 1pm or later....lap the hell out of Paradise and Summit.
Brown shirt was open??
Such a sick hill. Ya brown shirt was open, absolutely loved it!
Banff isn't the ski town that it was in the 70's and 80's. Every morning back then the road to Norquay was lined with locals hitch hiking to their favorite mountain.
That's back when Norquay was the CBGB's of ski areas. My racing team trained there in the early early 80's.Yeah Banff is nothing like it was 40 - 45 years ago but NO ski town is. My dad used to be Sunshine's lawyer. Staying at the Inn for a week during Spring breaks are my finest ski memories. I used to give people lifts thumbing between Banff and the resorts all the time. Stop in town for Chinese food at the Rundle restaurant apres ski. Yeah those days are...history
Sometimes I wish I was born in a different era.. My hair would have also been considered 'in style' back then hahaha
traveling form AUST , to got to kicking horse and passed there
need to extend if get up that way again and visit lake Louise
ricky n julians so canadian
tho Europe is on my radar
Don't forget Sunshine Village too. They have gnarly terrain in the Dive there. You just need to bring avi gear to enter.
when was this? i was here on Thursday friday! was amazing skiing with like 20cm fresh!
Yeah curious. I was there Thursday and went to Sunshine on Friday. Great two days :)
This was march 12th or something like that
What day were you there? I rode that hill on Mar 21 and it was awesome.
I think this was March 12 or 13th
Must be about time you checked out Panorama and did some laps in Taynton bowl.
Couldn't do a pow highway trip without Pano!
Yah, if you get into some parts of LL the trees can get a little tight. ;-)
School Marm is the best way to ski out. Way less people.
I'm never one to complain but there are a lot of reasons I don't reach for a Go Pro often anymore.
On a difficulty scale, whitehorn vs Delirium dive? Would like your opinion?
Delirium for sure. Way more exposure and spots to get in trouble. Whitehorn is much easier
First Kicking Horse now Lake Louise. Did you go to Sunshine today? I think you’re following me around. ;)
You know where I'm headed!
Straight to the DIVE
Hellll yes James. What a gorgeous part of North America
Banff/Canmore/Jasper is one of the best places on earth year round!
Another beautiful ski town. I just love that vibe and going around the corner seeing the ski area gets me all excited and smiley every single time, I love it. Hey buddy you can't just butt in here like that while I'm talking to James. (Some weird guy wearing a fake lab coat covered in tropical hot sauce says) Pardon me sir but this is a serious medical matter. Excuse me Mr. Louise is it? Oh good, hello I'm Mountain Doctor Andy "I'd rather be skiing" extraordinaire in my own mind here and at your service. This may be a sensitive subject but I'm a "professional" and I couldn't help but notice your very large and expansive "bowls". I'm afraid this could be a serious condition. Here's my card, please schedule an appointment with my office as soon as possible so we can check out your "bowls" just to make sure everything is healthy above the tree line full of fresh pow and with little to no rocks. Ok Mr. Louise drop your pants grab your toes making sure your tips are up, higher, tips higher please. There we are, now go ahead and cough for me twice please...... Holy shit I really need to stop chugging hot sauce and watching UFO videos on youtube before bed! Hahaha
Gotta be a deep cough... Mr Louise has got some big bowls hahaha
After ur done with all of the "skibig3" pls compare and give pros and cons of all... also btw sunshine dont serve breckfast on mountain till 11 if you're reading before you go
A Big3 comparison would be a great idea!
You should go to sunshine village
Great recommendation!
Do you use Final Cut Pro or iMovie for the editing?
I use good ole' iMovie still. Don't want to spend the money on FCP and it still does the trick for me.
@@riseandalpine When are you heading to Sunshine? I'm going on the Friday. =)
I MISSED YOU BY ONE DAY WTF... I CAME FOR THE POWDER TOO BUT I DIDNT SEE U d:::
Dang - this was March 12th, not the most recent powder day
Unfortunately I will not be watching this video, I got into a car crash and missed the good pow day (the Friday) and I don’t need any more knowledge on what I missed out on
Sorry to hear that.. I hope you're doing alright. If it helps, this was filmed March 12 so it wasn't the most recent snowfall :).
@@riseandalpine ah maybe I will watch then I think I was there that day it was pretty good. Missed 30cms on the 22nd though which sucked
Calgarians call it Lake Lousy
Why is that?
@@riseandalpine no new snow most of the time.
Just woke up to drive there 😴
Unreal!
Hey, out of my meadowlark stash!
:)
