Only a few of the mountain’s hills will be in operation for opening weekend. The main Glacier Chair, one learning area and the main lodge cafeteria will open Friday, the ski resort said, and the Bier Stube will open Saturday.

Early lessons will be offered at the hill, Lake Louise said.

Nakiska Ski Area in Kananaskis Country celebrated its earliest opening in the hill’s history earlier this month.
