Louise’s sister and parents were visiting us over Christmas and we rented some cross country skis for the duration of their visit. We had some really nice ski days locally and in the mountains… One day we had nothing else planned so we all piled into the van and took a drive out to Lake Louise. There is a very nice set track that goes from one end of the lake to the other, on the lake, and it was a lot of fun to cruise across the lake. The trail was quite crowded with many other skiiers, walkers, and snow-shoers. There are actually many other set tracks in the area as well, but we only did the lake… I was dragging Melanie behind me in the Chariot trailer, and the incredulous looks we got from the tourists were pretty funny to watch!

We also took some time to wander around the Chateau. They built an amazing ice palace right on the lake in the middle of a skating rink. The Chateau is impressive in its own right, and all in all it was well worth the drive!
