Banff, Alberta — After adding a bubble chairlift during the 2024-25 season, Lake Louise Ski Resort will grow again during the 2025-26 season.
Work has begun on Richardson’s Ridge, a new terrain expansion located adjacent to the Back Bowls at Lake Louise Ski Resort. Situated across from the Paradise chairlift, the terrain pod will have a mix of easy, intermediate, and advanced trails and glades. There will be traditional pistes, along with glades and chutes. Lake Louise noted in their Long-Range Plan that “it is rare to find terrain that is so well balanced with the skier marketplace contained within a single pod.”
Lake Louise provided the first construction update this week. Valhalla Helicopters has been helping clear out trees from the future trails and lift line at Richardson’s Ridge.
The lift and terrain expansion are scheduled to open during the 2025-26 season.
