The trail starting at the Lake Louise Chateau, down to the Bow river loop, to Baker Creek and Caslte Junction is in great condition! It keeps going to Johnston Canyon, the Saw back, all the way to the Sunshine turn off ( some section are difficult through there). Then from Healy creek, all the way to Banff is great for skating. Head out and explore some sections of this trail, only groomed once a year! I skied the whole distance yesterday and trail was in the best condition I have ever skied it ! Have fun, call me if you have any questions,Jessica.
