Boom Lake is a classic Banff cross country ski outing.

The trail gently ascends from the highway to the lake. It is a fast and fun ride back with gravity doing half of the work.

This is a popular trail so careful not to run anyone over on the way down!

There has been a slight re-route of the trail to go through the forest rather than across the tail end of an avalanche run. I didn't see anything on the entire trail that would make me the slightest bit worried unless we had a brazillion feet of snow some year.

In winter please check the Avaluator(Online Trip Planner) rating is: Challenging. See more trip planner route details here.

Directions:

There is a parking area at the trailhead, located on the Radium Springs highway 6 kms west of Castle junction.

Sorry directions weren't available. Please check the bottom of the description.

Got lucky with great snow today. Downside A little easy & short (10-11km return) Comment Fun ride back down, wish it was 2x longer. Cloudy day so don't know about the scenery. The Alpina Control Edge (light B/C, steel edges, nnn BC bindings) were PERFECT for these conditions.
