That was a big snow year.

Kinda sad, but the 11/12 catski season has ended.  Looking back it was one of the best years in the last decade.  Hard to beat the 10/11 season, which was the best in 12 years, but we came close.  We ended up with a 5 metre compressed base at treeline and about 13 metres of accumulated snowfall on the Lizard Range!!  Yes - that is about 43 feet of snowfall.  We had various memorable storms, including February 26th when we had 1 metre or over 3 feet of snow in 24 hours.  The powder was low density blower pow and our catskiing guests were simply amazed.  Then there was the epic storm of January 17th & 18th when we received 150 cms in 48 hours...or 5 feet of snow.  This was an unusual storm in that a warm front collided with a cold front and stalled right over our catski terrain.  It stayed about -20 the whole time. I have never seen so much snow fall at such a low temp.  We did hear the phrase "too deep" from some guests.  All in all it was a spectacular season and we thank all the guests that were able to experience Island Lake Catskiing at it's best.
