I've never done the hike out the Boundary Bowl (#141) at Lake Louise, is it marked and obvious, or do you need a guide? How long is it - and do you need a pack, or can you sling the skis over your shoulders and walk up? I've done T2 at Kicking Horse, but hated the hike (Ozone was easier).

The hike is obvious. You just need to do a short bootback to upper boomerang first. Upper boomerang typically opens in early season... go to the end, and you'll see the gate.
It's a shorter and easier hike than Ozone, T2 and T1. The run isn't that long though.

Good news from Parks Canada for annual discovery pass holders:-
"For current pass holders, Parks Canada will automatically extend the end date of Discovery Passes for the full duration of the suspension period.
For visitors who hold a Discovery Pass which was valid in March 2020, Parks Canada will automatically extend the end date of these Discovery Passes by 4 months. This covers the three-month suspension of visitor services, plus the gradual resumption of visitor services during the month of June.
For example, a Discovery Pass that would have originally expired March 2020 will now expire July 2020. Similarly, a Discovery Pass that would have expired September 2020 will now expire January 2021."
(I guess it is old news they were extending the passes, but I only checked by how long today).

Lake Louise have announced that Paradise Chair & Bowl are opening tomorrow which has to be a record. They opened Ptarmigan today and the snow in the trees up hill was still light and dry so there should be some great turns to be had (in amongst all the sharks of course),

Pissing rain at Pano all the way up to the top today. Canadian ski teams are supposed to start training tomorrow, the man made snow they were pushing down to the base today looked like mashed potatoes.
Biking around the columbia valley is really good right now. Rode to the top of Swansea on Sunday, a couple inches of snow at the top.

Got in a pretty good season opener around Highwood last weekend. Enough snow to make some turns in the alpine but it was quite thin elsewhere (and warming) - this weekend's snow will be most welcome.
No season passes this year so wasn't willing to shell out cash for barely open resorts. I see Sunshine opens monday.

Seems like summit is still delayed. Marketing seems to say anyday, rumors say a month so who knows haha.

Man alive... there were a lot of people either missing the mark with mask wearing in lift lines and chairs (I.e. chin diaper) and a lot downright ignoring it and not even pretending to wear a mask.
If that shit keeps up, and/or contact tracing pinpoints an outbreak to a ski hill, and/or someone takes a picture of that behavior and sends it the powers that be, I could see hills getting shut down.
I went to guest services to suggest that they should have staff walking up and down the left lines telling people to wear their face coverings properly.
Other than that, it was a nice sunny day at the lake.
