Island Lake Catskiing

Cat-skiing the Canadian Rockies is an unforgettable and highly addictive experience. Island Lake Cat-skiing rose to fame in the late 1980s through the media and ski & snowboard icons such as Scot Schmidt and Craig Kelly.

The magnificent peaks of the Lizard Range in the Rocky Mountains tower over 7,000 acres of private bowls, valleys and gladed forests.

Vast, spectacular terrain topped with 12 metres (40 feet) of snow that consistently makes for some of the best skiing in the world. Island Lake is the ultimate destination for luxury cat-skiing, spacious rooms, fine dining, spa and guest service second to none.

Tour include guided skiing, along with all lodging, meals, safety equipment and skis or snowboards.

The Tamarack Lodge includes 8 deluxe guest rooms with spacious ensuite bathrooms. This lodge also includes the wellness spa facility and main dining room with great views of the Lizard Range.

The Cedar Lodge also features 8 deluxe guest rooms. Each room hosts a patio and spacious ensuite bathroom. This lodge is complete with two beautifully appointed common rooms and cedar barrel sauna.

The Red Eagle Lodge is a standard but cozy log cabin with shared spaces over two floors, great for friends sharing a tour. The 10 comfortable guest rooms feature ensuite bathrooms. This lodge also has a large front deck and cedar barrel sauna.
