Forget about US election, opening days are here!
Tune out the election obsessed U.S. news cycle and welcome back winter instead. November 5 ushered in opening days for the Western Canada ski season and the timing couldn't be better.
With cooler alpine temperatures and some around-the-clock snowmaking, Lake Louise was the first ski resort in Canada to open for the 2024-25 ski season on November 5!
Next, we have Sunshine and Nakiska scheduled for Nov 8 openings.
Ready to ski? Here's a look at the Lake on one day prior to opening.
Lake Louise is the first resort in Canada to open for the 2024-25 ski season, on Tuesday, Nov 5, 2024.
In other exciting news, the resort also announced Grizzly Gondola will be opening for the coming weekend, and the Lake is also opening its new Pipestone 6-pack this season (but don't expect it to be spinning just yet).
Nearby at Sunshine Village, the Super Angel XL is nearly complete. This last few days saw heli-missions to place some of the remaining equipment.
Sunshine opens (with limited terrain) on Nov 8. A day later, on Nov 9, Mt Norquay will follow suit.
We're seeing some big snowfalls in BC as well with another storm passing through dropping snow at higher mountain elevations.
