What is catskiing?

We often get asked - what is cat skiing? While skiers in Western North America seem to be familiar with the concept, folks from out East and especially other parts of the worlds are not.  To catski we use a large tracked machine (cat) that is usually used to groom slopes at resorts.  We then put an enclosed box with comfortable seats on the back.  This enables us to drive up mountains and access fresh powder and great terrain.  Our Cats at Island Lake Catskiing are some of the most comfortable in the industry.  Heated, hot drinks, food, sound system and plenty of room make a great ski or snowboard experience.

After such a great summer it's hard to think about winter, but is right around the corner.  Last year was a LaNina year and we had over 12 metres of snowfall!!!  Long range forecasts are calling for another La Nina snow year in B.C.  Our catski seats are being booked everyday and if you want to get in the action you better call quickly...

Here is a photo from last March to get you stoked!

What a great summer it has been.  Though we started with a cool wet spring, July, August and September have been sunny and hot.  The wild flower displays were exceptional, the hiking trails were in great shape and we had some awesome weddings at the lodge.  Al in all a superb summer.
