We picked Lake Louise (partly because they're the only resort in the mountains that offers a family pass for lift tickets and partly because we'd never been there, winter or summer, and it's famous for being so beautiful). We were excited to see that there are dozens of green runs as none of us is a very adventurous skiier so the more green runs the better!
Well, it turns out that their idea of a green run involves a lot steeper inclines than anything Maira or Hudson could handle so we ended up spending a lot more time in the kids area (which was great for Hudson and Maira but still pretty boring for the rest of us) than I had expected. I went on one run up the mountain with Maira on what was supposed to be the easiest run on the whole mountain. Well, she ended up having a melt down about halfway down because the steep areas really scared her so she was happy to stick to the kids area after that. I did take her and Hudson up the gondola but we didn't get off at the top to ski, we just rode it back down to the bottom. We did that while we were waiting for Jess and Shae and Connor to get back from exploring the back side of the mountain. They were supposed to see if any of the green runs on the back were less steep but they ended up taking a wrong lift and making some wrong turns and they were gone for 2 hours! They had quite an adventure and ended up on a blue run part of the time but they survived and have quite the experience to remember!
