Was at Louise yesterday (wow what a day) and thought I’d share a couple thoughts

- reservations aren’t being enforced yet but by the sounds of it they will next week. Launching mid-season on the biggest powder day was a bit of a hiccup I can see why it was necessary.
- covid protocols are MUCH better than earlier in the season. Felt safe even on a busy powder day.
- the outdoor bbq setup at temple lodge looked good (though we did not check it out)
- west bowl is HUGE. Didn’t realize this but 400+ acres is basically Norquay x2. So many lines back there it’s almost Revy / Kicking Horse like. Hopefully they will still pluck a few trees as the western ridge ends in one hell of a bushwhack. Seems it will open late / close early so the snow should hold and give another gate drop to hang around for in the afternoon.
- summit chair is a bit odd. Kind of miss the old platter, esp in the morning before the backside opens as you have no choice but to go back down to top of the world now. It’s placement does make for quicker whitehorn laps and easy access from Paradise though.
- again, kudos to the Louise team on their covid protocols and the staff they’ve added to enforce them, it’s much appreciated.
