Dear Sir or Madam, My family and I are visiting my aunt in Alberta at the beginning of December and we are interested in going skiing in Lake Louise for a week. However, I have a few questions. First, I would like to know the following: Could you tell us when the skiing season starts in Lake Louise and what time you open? We are planning to be in your resort in the second week of December. Furthermore, I wanted to ask if you also have slopes for snowboarding. What is also interesting for us is the weather in the Rocky Mountains in December. What comes to my mind are icy-cold nights, frozen lakes, etc. My next question is about accommodation: We are a group of four people and looking for a reasonably priced mid-range hotel. I would be grateful if you could get some information to us. Finally, it would be of help to know the best way to get to Lake Louise from Calgary, where my aunt lives. Would you happen to know if there any bus connections? I look forward to hearing from you. Please contact me at the above address or at seb. falk333@gmail.com .
