spent a season up there, snowboarding and cooking breakfast for hotel goers.
Never have I ever been so cold in my entire life as when I was walking from staff accom to the hotel at 5AM in -43.
When you get into the hotel the warm air burns and the thaw rate on some hairs outpace the tensile strength and fall off. eyebrows, nose hairs, stuff like that, not to mention if you move your jeans the wrong way they crack.
Lake Louise is beautiful, just don't underestimate the winter in the Canadian Rockies.
Got to visit this place as a child, every so often I have dreams where I'm canoeing on that lake again. Anyone else who visited Lake Louise 10-20 years ago... didn't there used to be a lot more ice up in them there mountains?
