So over the Thanksgiving holiday (I know I know, it was a little while ago, but I have been busy with work and a recent birthday weekend) I went up to Banff and Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. The first 2 nights we stayed at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise... Words cannot describe this place. I can't recommend a better hotel to stay in, and I have been in some pretty nice ones around the world. We stayed in room 882, the Belvedere Suite, a must. It was a 2-story suite. Flat screen LCD's on both levels, a private balcony with a view of all the mountains, the ski resort and beautiful Lake Louise itself. The interior decorating was top notch. And not to mention the best shower I have ever used, ha-ha. The service by the hotel staff was great as well. The next 2 nights I stayed at The Fairmont Banff Springs, also amazing, styled after a Scottish baronial castle. There was so much to do inside of this hotel. Tons of bars, lounges, restaurants, shops, spas, and the list goes on forever. The room was not as nice as before, but it worked. I was able to get in 4 days of snowboarding while I was there, 2 days at Lake Louise and 2 days at Sunshine Village. Both good mountains, just needed more snow. I am spoiled; my home mountain is Mt Baker, Washington. We have tons of snow. I have a season pass and I have hit Baker 7 times this year, so I am doing pretty well. Any questions, hit me up. Oh and I would have killed the have the X up there, the little Escape got us by, but I was dying for my X.
