It’s only been a couple of weeks since our return from skiing in Mont-Tremblant, but we’re excited to get away for some more skiing. This time, we’re heading west. Last year, we split our time between the Fairmont’s at Whistler and Banff, but we loved the skiing best at Lake Louise. Therefore, this time, we’re concentrating all of our time at the Chateau Lake Louise.

Here we are after our arrival at Pearson airport. Did I mention that we don’t know how to travel light? Ski gear can be bulky. Good thing our baggage allowance is 6 x 70 Lbs, or this could be expensive!

By the way, for anyone else who loves to ski, and travels with good equipment, we love our SporTube. We’ve been using this thing for several years, on several airline trips. It’s picked up a few dents along the way, but the skis inside were always protected.

We have a late afternoon flight, arriving in Calgary in the evening. Here we are at check-in for our flight.

After arriving in Calgary, we claimed our luggage, and picked up our rental van. We’re staying in a hotel by the airport for the night, and plan to make our way to Banff National Park first thing in the morning.
