World Cup in Lake Louise

The Lake Louise Ski Area hosts the World Cup this month. This is the only Canadian stop on the World Cup Tour and if you want to see some amazingly talented skiers, I recommend checking it out. November 27th and 28th 2010 are the men's races and the women have their turn on December 3 - 5, 2010.

Watching the Olympic ski races this past February on TV was awesome, so to have the chance to see World Class Olympic Athletes live, skiing over 100km an hour, is an opportunity I do not want to miss! There are big screens both outside and in the lodge so that you are able to watch the entire race, and then see the skiers cross the finish line in person at the bottom of the mountain.

If coming to Lake Louise to watch the women's races on December 4th, make sure you are in Banff by 5:15pm. The Santa Claus Parade of Lights will be starting at 5:30pm on Banff Avenue and you do not want to miss it :)
