Skiing!
A big part of why we moved to Golden is this ski hill, it is steep, deep and has something for everyone including some epic terrain in the recently opened Ozone and Middle Ridge. Get vertical on Whitewall, slay some deep steeps on T1 North, wrangle some chutes found everywhere at this ski hill, it doesn't dissapoint!

Lake Louise is the hill I grew up skiing and it is a most spectacular resort with lots for every skill level including a massive terrain park, alpine bowls and chutes, beautifully flowing beginner and intermediate runs from top to bottom and quintessential ski-hill lodges for eating, drinking and warming up between runs. Only 1 hour from Golden, if you feel like a change of scenery from Kicking Horse Mountain Resort (our favourite hill) then Louise is a fantastic option. I also recommend going for a drink at the Chateau Lake Louise bar after skiing here to complete your Lake Louise experience :)
