The Larch Area of the Lake Louise Ski Resort is located on its lower west slope, while the majority of the resort's skiable terrain is located on the slopes of Whitehorn Mountain, immediately west of Lipalian Mountain. The resort's Temple Lodge (dining only) is located in the valley between the two mountains and is only open during the ski season and is accessible on skis/snowboard only (no public road).
Lipalian was a geological era proposed by American paleontologist Charles Walcott for a time where there is no record of fossils during a period of the Cambrian explosion. The theory was later refuted.
