Lake Louise Ski Resort Back Bowl Skiing: WHITEHORN 2 D GULLY 

Hi Richard, yes it is steep - and narrow getting between those rocks. Now that the new lift is working, it's much easier to get to the back side. I was there a couple of weeks ago and the snow was wonderful.

Hi mikejessmax, we had a great day (as we usually do a Lake Louise).

Hi Liam, So far this is the only one I've done. I look forward to eventually doing them all.

Hi John, It was very steep - probably the steepest run I've done.

Hi Bob, you and me both!! I can't wait to get out and explore the new front side area.

Hi kkeelty64, Thanks for the comments. I had to watch the video again to see what you meant. I was following the group I was with. I believe the run was open but we took a shut cut to get better snow. Thanks for the tip. My skiing has greatly improved since I shot this video. The run was slightly above my skiing abilities at the time. The group I was with was confident that I could handle it. Admittedly at time, I didn't share their confidence. :)

@@SYPCWAK Awesome that your skiing has improved. It seemed to be at a pretty high level when you shot this, so kudos! The rope line comment is one that I feel pretty strongly about. Patrol in any area with high consequence terrain (and the backside of Lake Louise certainly qualifies!) will close some runs and open others for a variety of reasons. By ducking the rope line you may inadvertently pass from a safe run onto an unsafe one (different avalanche profile due to aspect, pitch, wind loading, etc) or even onto a run that is closed because patrol needs to do urgent avalanche mitigation (explosives). By ducking a rope line for "better snow" you may put yourself, other skiers, and ski patrol at risk. Be safe out there, and hope you had a great season.
