I used to work at the Lake Louise hotel and someone woke me up at 2:00 AMstaff house and told me to look outside. The northern lights were going crazy and I was alone sitting at the edge of the lake until dawn watching them. It was like a concert light show with the colored lights moving very fast and the air seemed to be crackling. Glad that I didn't meet a bear too. A wonderful memory.
@modtomodern3 жыл бұрын
@@mariamarano6729 I worked there back in 1980 and the hotel was not open in the winter at all. I saw the northern lights in the late spring and the ground was bare. So due to global warming and covid I expect that you would have to call the hotel and ask when the lake freezes enough to skate on safely. I would not want to crash through the ice in the middle of that lake . Even in the summer it is very cold and you would die in minutes in the deep part. It is very beautiful though.
