Skoki

Last updated: February 25, 2026

Green Richardson's Ridge

A beginner run on Richardson’s Ridge, named for the Skoki Valley wilderness area. Skoki Lodge; established in 1930, 11 km from the resort boundary; served as the initial catalyst for winter recreation in the Lake Louise region, predating lift-serviced skiing by decades. The run name honours that heritage.

Take everything here with a grain of glacial silt or a pinch of snow. LakeLoui.se reflects one local's personal (and at times imperfect) understanding of this wild landscape and its storied history. It's an unofficial guide, born from mountain obsession, meant to lend a hand and hopefully kindle a similar wonder in others.

At its heart, this site is a personal love letter to Lake Louise. It is a strictly independent project and is not an official resource for (nor is it endorsed by) Parks Canada, the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, the Lake Louise Ski Resort, or Banff & Lake Louise Tourism. Please consult official sources for current rules and updates. Explore often, tread carefully, and know that you wander at your own risk.
