The Lake Louise Ski Area Site Guidelines document contains sections that provide general direction and conditions that apply across the entire ski area (see Section 3, Ski Area Development and Management Direction and Section 4, General Site Guidelines) and a section that provides guidelines and conditions for individual areas of the resort (see Section 5, Area Concepts).
The area concepts were established to reflect operational and geographical realities. Each area concept provides a vision outlining future development and use, along with specific guidelines and conditions that reinforce or support that vision. Area concepts are aimed at providing appropriate visitor experiences, infrastructure, and operational support systems that address the needs of different markets, visitor types, and types of use. Building from the rest of the Site Guidelines, including sections 3 and 4, the area concepts also include specific proposals that may be brought forward as part of a Long-Range Plan.
Specific area concepts have been developed for the following areas:
- Base Area
- Whitehorn Front Side
- Whitehorn Back Bowls
- West Bowl
- Temple Area (Ptarmigan/Larch/Richardson’s Ridge)
- Hidden Bowl
The map on the following page shows the location of each of these areas in relation to the overall ski area lease and proposed licenses of occupation.
