Lake Louise February 24, 2026



This was my view as I made my way to my vehicle. 
That’s where I was headed this morning, in the midst of mountains, to skate on Lake Louise.


It was a whole different outlook today, I could see everything.  

There were only four of us at the Ice Castle creating memories.  We took turns capturing each others photo.  The guy had flooded the ice around the Castle then started working on the skating surface. He must have started very early because he would have had to clear the snow first. After the photo taking, it was time to lace up my skates.

I have never seen the Ice Castle looking more beautiful!  
On top of that, I have never skated on Lake Louise when conditions were this ideal.

After covering eleven kilometres skating, it was time to put my boots back on. I checked out the Ice Sculptures.  This one is called “Skater’.  In early February, the carvers worked their magic but the competition was cancelled for the second year in a row due to warm weather.
