Lake Louise Ski Resort boasts several long green runs that are perfect for beginners looking to enjoy extended descents amidst stunning scenery. Here are five of the longest green runs you might want to check out:

Here are some (Lake Louise) that I can take my kid on, who is learning parallel, but much of the time reverts to the snowplow straight down the hill technique:

FRONT SIDE GREEN

-Wiwaxy

-Pine Cone Way (one of the easiest)

-Eagle Meadows

-Deer Run

FRONT SIDE BLUE

-Home Run

-Cameron Way

-Juniper/Juniper Jungle

BACKSIDE GREEN

-Saddleback

-Pika

-Lookout

-Marmot

BACKSIDE BLUE

-Old Ptarmigan

-Larch (this one is a steeper blue for sure and might be a black in Colorado). Larch run and Larch Poma run are definitely steeper blues so try the green runs off Larch chair first, and then if you're comfortable, work your way up.
