Description:
We will park by Chateau Lake Louise and ski the Tramline to Moraine Lake Road. This will be an easy to moderate ski as this may be the first outing for some members. Fortunately, what goes up must come down, which makes for a nice fun easy downhill until we have to go up Tramline to get back to the parking lot.
Everyone can join in and ski with what they are comfortable with or decide to ski to the avalanche sign at the end of the trail. We will decide on a turnaround time for everyone so we all arrive at the parking lot at the same time at the end of the ski outing. Carpooling will be arranged to distance that individuals will be skiing.
Please be aware if there is inclement weather forecasted the day of the event, it may be rescheduled and / or cancelled.
