Parks pass: $13.07. Average hotel room in Lake Louise: $329. Loft suite (for six) for two nights: $978. Half day ski pass: $61.50. Walk around Lake Louise: Free. Prime rib dinner in the Outpost Pub: $24.50. Average dinner in Lake Louise: Way more than that! A weekend out with great girlfriends: Priceless. Outpost Pub, 200 Pipestone Rd., Lake Louise, (403) 522-3989. Open weekdays [...] It’s impossible not to fall in love with Yann Haute Patisserie. First of all, it’s in a cute yellow house in Mission.
