Following après, you will enjoy first tracks down a freshly groomed run with our professional staff as your escorts. Head to the Sitzmark Lounge where a smorgasbord of food and entertainment awaits you. To make the most of your experience, why not take advantage of our optional bus service back to your Lake Louise or Banff Hotel. Note: You must ski or snowboard to participate in the après at the mid-mountain lodge. We do offer a dinner and dance only option in the Sitzmark Lounge, where you can watch the rest of the group parade down the slopes at dusk.

Powder 8s - Canadian Championships
February 25
The Lake Louise Ski Area will be hosting Canada’s top powder skiers where timing, style and technical ability are combined to form this unique team event in powder snow. Teams of two carve their way down Lake Louise’s steeps creating 8s in the untracked powder.
Never competed in a Powder 8 event before? The concept is simple; teams of two carve their way down Lake Louise’s steeps creating 8s in the untracked powder. The competition is judged on synchronization, dynamic/aggressive skiing and distance between team members. The tracks are judged on roundness, symmetry and fall line.
Be prepared to hike!
To get to the event venue, competitors will be required to hike approximately 45 minutes up Lipalian Mountain. Once you are out at the event venue, it is not easy to get back to the lodge for a warm-up or snack. It is highly recommended that you bring a backpack with everything that you need for the day. All competitors will be required to wear a beacon. Lake Louise Ski Area will loan beacons to those who do not own one.
Location:
Purple Bowl (Tentative)
Time:
7:30am - 4:30pm
Cost:
$70 / team
The entry fee includes lift tickets and apres-ski.
Unbelievable Prizes!
