The HI-Lake Louise Alpine Centre is a superior grade hostel located at Lake Louise. On-site amenities include gorgeous common areas, two self-serve kitchens, a full service restaurant (Bill Peyto's) and free Wi-Fi (full linen is included, sleeping bags not allowed). We have some rooms booked for the Family Day long weekend. We will go down Friday night (approx. 5 hour drive) and return Family Day Monday. Rooms will be shared. Price includes all three nights.
Skiing/Snowboarding: Lift passes are not included in the price of this event. Several hills are accessible from Lake Louise (eg: Lake Louise, Sunshine, Norquay, Kicking Horse). The hostel does sell lift passes for Lake Louise, Sunshine (Banff) or Norquay (Banff) for $69. This price includes shuttle service, but the shuttles for Sunshine and Norquay are very limited. Alternatively, you can usually get discounted lift tickets at local ski shops. It is your own responsibility to arrange equipment, lift passes and ride to the hill. Because of long line-ups, it is highly recommended that you get tickets and equipment rentals before arrival at the hill.
Other local activities include hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The Lake Louise and Banff townsites are also worth visiting. There are also hotsprings, ice climbing and ice canyon tours available. Please contact the hostel for more information.
Carpool note: with the uncertainty of winter road conditions, it is recommended that members arrange their own rides with someone they know and can rely on. We will of course help arrange carpool for those that need it, but please note that refunds will not be given if a carpool arrangement falls through. And as with any carpool event, non-driving members may be bumped for driving members on the waitlist if we do not have enough drivers.
Carpool payment: for those that do want the EOC to arrange carpool for you, we have a new communal payment system. Please DO NOT pay your drivers en route. Passengers will pay me at the hostel and I will distribute the money to the carpool drivers evenly. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!!
Roommate note: because we are all arriving at different times on Friday and each room is locked, the hostel requires that I assign people to rooms ahead of time. You may arrange your own roommates (4/room), or I can do it for you. If you wish to arrange your own roommates, you MUST send me the list by registration cutoff, or I will assign you a room.
