December powder days - BC Catskiing is the best!

Do you like powder skiing and snowboarding?  Island Lake Catskiing has a 250 cm base and the terrain has filled in well.  If you want to try Catskiing is BC - it is time to book your trip.  Island Lake is currently at 90% occupancy for the winter ski season.  We still have a few seats coming up in January though.  The US TV show Board Stories - The White Room Episodes is currently filming a ski and snowboard show with us here.  Here are a few photos from the last couple of days.















It time you experienced Island Lake Catsking
