Lake Louise, Canada
Excellent freeriding on four mountain faces although slopes can get very busy. Facilities in Louise are a bit on the dull side, but overall with Banff as an alternative this is a great destination for all.
Freeriding: 80% - Trees and good off-piste
Freestyle: 75% - A terrain park and pipe
Pistes: 75% - Well pisted and long
