White Room Episodes TV Show goes Catskiing

Last winter the White Room Episodes TV show visited Island Lake Catskiing for some powder and good times.  The TV show based in Hawaii does both surf and ski/snowboard shows through the year.  The boys really enjoyed all that Island Lake has to offer and were treated to some powder shredding, great food and our version of 'Lodge Life".

Snowcat assisted ski touring announced by Island Lake Catskiing

Island Lake Lodge, long heralded as a prime backcountry lodge and catskiing destination, will now be offering guided ski touring as well. Guests will be transported by snow cat into the mountains where they can enjoy touring 7,000 acres of Island Lake property. The terrain, which includes alpine bowls, gladed trees and an extensive road network, is ideal for both catskiing and ski touring. “We have always known our property is great for touring and are very excited to offer the opportunity to a wider audience,” said guiding manager Niki LePage.  Multi-day stays will include all food and accommodation.  Island Lake will offer packages for all levels of skiers from beginner to expert. Ski touring will be available as single day trips or as two, three or four day tours starting in April.  Each day starts with a snowcat-ride into the ski terrain to get as much elevation as possible.

Island Lake Catskiing is located in the Lizard Range of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, 10 kms from Fernie B.C.  Island Lake offered ski touring in the mid 80’s and for the past 24 years has been providing catskiing experiences for skiers and snowboarders.

What an unreal storm.  We have had 150 cms or 5 feet of pow in 48 hours.  The temps have stayed pretty cold, so the snow is very low density.  You could call it Champagne Powder!  We are currently in a lull between storms, but there is more snow on the way!!  Powder skiing in BC does not get any better then this.
