Lake Louise Snow Machine Club (LLSMC)

05/01/2026

Well folks thanks to some awesome club members the stakes have all been pulled all over the lakes. 😍
Some people are still hauling on the lake itself, trails off lake are pretty bare.
Slush on top of the ice is making things a little sloppy. 🌊
If you’re out and about please keep an eye for any trash that might be popping out of the snow
