About this audio guide
This guide to the Lake Louise Ski Resort and Summer Gondola in Banff follows grizzly bear number one thirty-eight, better known on the mountain as Joe, one of the most closely tracked bears in the Canadian Rockies. It traces how a mix-up over her sex gave her a name that stuck, and how a wider GPS collar study across Banff and Yoho turned these ski runs into a live wildlife research site. Keep an eye on the open slopes below the gondola as you ride, since bears still cross them most summer days.
