Of course there are many opportunities for skiing and even heli-skiing. The Lake Louise Ski Area is in the heart of Banff National Park and unforgettable with four mountain faces and a powder bowl on the mountains backside.
There is also the Lake Louise TELUS Winter Sports School with instructors. Every Friday night there is the Downhill at Dusk Event which is a big ski party. For more excitement and scare you can visit the Bankhead ghost town. Once a thriving coal mine which produced million of tons of coal a year, it is not deserted and desolate.
