Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

thanks, I have heard it is a beautiful location; also, my concierge has stated that there are some truly remarkable points at the top of LL itself - I will have chance to scout these out prior to us being there which is a bonus
can any of you guys recommend the dog-sledding tours? any particular one? |
We did a dogsledding trip from Canmore. I think it was with Snowy Owl . My son said it was the best day he'd ever had on snow apart from skiing. He still wants his own huskies.

Yea man. SSV - Delirium dive if you have avy kit. Goats eye mountain, its pretty much all expert terrain! Ski Hells Kitchen skiiers right of the Goats eye express. The headwall of Standish is also fun if you like to point it/drop stuff!! LL has alot of terrain in the back bowls and i personally like the trees of the Larch chair. FunFunFun!! Very jealous by the way.

so I assume that you actually go onto the lake? is it fully frozen at this time of year? i have heard that I would need to ski in the morning or something and then take a ten minute shuttle to the lake itself
|
Lake is fully frozen and they clear a rink at the chateau end for skating (you can rent skates here if you want) There should be ice sculptures dotted all over the place in front of chateau and then the ice castle itself on the lake. Sometimes there are fire pits and hot choc too. The lounge at the chateau is a nice place for lunch with a lovely view. You can also get sleigh rides around the lake which look good to me, but check whether these operate outside the weekend.
Alternatives - rent a car and go to emerald lake for lunch in the bar with snowshoeing round the lake (rent there agian check rental times) followed by supper there.
Recommend the Bison in Banff for special meal

hahahaa gryphea, I don't think she would follow
I will keep the Bison in mind, thanks - I have also had Eden, Banff Springs and the Maple Leaf recommended as a great place for a celebratory meal - thoughts?
Ahhh, I was wondering where may be good for breakfast.

I would go for the lake. REason is sking sounds slightly more like your thing than her thing and this is about her. SO don't do it on skis, go to the lake where you can go in for a lovely lunch in the lounge.
On the mountain, maybe punctuated by other skiers going past .

Not been to any of these (OH is veggie which deosn't help). But the Eden looks disticntly stuffy to me, the Bison is more casual, funkier , but excellent food.

The Post Hotel in Lake Louise is probably the best restaurant in the Bow valley.

Best lunch on the mountain was at Sawyers Nook at Temple Lodge in LL, but I think I heard that it wasn't the same now. Fine dining seems to be replaced by fast food and pizza  .

Or... if you're more *ahem* "budget-minded" you might prefer the "Outback" which is around the back of the Post Hotel - same kitchen but $15 dollar main courses. Yum yum!
