The Island Lake Reunion Catski Tour

2013 is the 25th anniversary of Catskiing at Island Lake and we have a few special projects on the go for next year.  This past March we invited a few of the key athletes and shareholders from our past for a reunion tour.  Past shareholders Mark Gallup, Beth Gallup, Jason Ford, Scot Schmidt and Jake Blattner spent 4 days with us doing some filming and powder shredding.  It snowed the whole time, so we were not able to film on some of the classic alpine spots, but we did slay plenty of powder lines.  Keep your eyes open for some special anniversary projects coming out this fall...

Ski Touring Anyone?

Well our multiday catskiing season has come to and end.  And what a wonderful catski season it was.  Ullar the snowgod blessed us with an incredible amount of powder snow.  As a matter of fact - we still have a 6 metre base!  This means that ski touring in our terrain is superb.  Give us a call and book some spring touring with us today.  1-888-422-8754

50 cms in 24 hours - time to catski!

Conditions Report: We had 50 cms in 24 hours yesterday - March 20.  Nice dry blower pow.  That makes 145 cms for the week.  Island Lake Catskiing is sponsored by Ullar!  We have some space between March 27 and April 2nd.  You should probably give us a call.

A great few days with some ski and snowboard legends.

The last week has seen a series of storms hit Island Lake Catskiing.  We have had over 100 cms in the last 7 days.  We also had some of the original shareholders and pro athletes here that made Island Lake famous back in the 90s.  Mark Gallup, Scot Schmidt, Jason Ford and Jake Blattner were all here for a reunion tour and to shred some pow. 

There are a few seats left at the end of March...give us a call.  1-888-422-8754

Ullar Smiles upon us again.

Just like an old Viking Saga, Ullar has been smiling down upon us.  Apparently he likes catskiing... We have had 20 cms overnight and about 40 cms in 48 hours.  The temp is -7 and conditions are fantastic!  I overheard one of the guides on the radio say "The skiing is super so good over here"
