The main attraction of our trip. Lake Louise.
Icicles hanging from the roof of the Wash room house. 
Lake Louise is named after the Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848–1939), the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and the wife of the Marquess of Lorne, who was the Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883.
The emerald colour of the water comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake. The lake has a surface of 0.8 km² (0.3 sq mi) and is drained through the 3 km long Louise Creek into the Bow River.
The eastern shore of the lake is dominated by Chateau Lake Louise, one of Canada's grand railway hotels, a luxury resort hotel built in the early decades of the 20th century by the Canadian Pacific Railway.
It looks like a giant shell or fan doesn't it?!
The obligatory "Shall I take a picture of you too?"
A M A Z I N G !
The Lake Louise Ski field.
The Gondola $25 to go up and down. I would have done it - not so my companions...
Cut out the car park in front - hahaha.
Wow - what else can one say. It is just so indescribable beautiful.
