April 16th - Back to Lake Louise

I got up and headed back to Lake Louise late morning. The drive was a bit shorter, since I didn’t stop that much to take pictures. Me and Thomas (I was giving him a ride back to Lake Louise) talked a bit more, but I think we ran out of stuff to talk about. I dropped him off at Lake Louise and wished him all the best, it was fun having some company on the drive. Thomas then proceeded to hitch hike back to Banff (about 25 km away I think).

After checking in I decided to go for my last xc ski of my trip at a new trail (pipestone) that I put off doing. I was pretty sure I was the only one skiing that day because it snowed and no fresh tracks were visible. Also I was the only car in the parking lot. The un-groomed trail made skiing super slow, like it took me 4 hrs (including some stops for pictures) to finish the loop. Surprisingly I didn’t feel as exhausted as I thought but I was still tired nonetheless.
