Choosing The Right Catskiing Vacation

Island Lake tops the list of operators here in B.C. and around the world. There is a reason why their tours fill up year after year, season after season. That reason is their terrain. At 7,000 acres, everything you want from the backcountry is there. Steep slopes covered in delicious powder kick snow in your face, and every carving turn in the naturally-gladded trees gives you obstacles to zip around. On a typical day, 10-14 runs will give you about 15,000 vertical feet of powder ecstasy. Once you've had enough, make your way back to the lodge on any of the many runs that lead right back to it. Then you can enjoy your spacious room and soaker tub, or head down to the world-class spa for real relaxation and rejuvenation. After relaxing, enjoy five-star cuisine before turning in to get ready for another great day on the slopes.

Powder Cowboy offers a more economical vacation that still beats many high-end resorts. Powder Cowboy offers a unique western themed experience, as well as all the powder you can handle. Their terrain covers 6,000 acres of some of the best ridge riding and tree skiing in B.C. A typical day at Powder Cowboy will last around 12 runs, which gets you about the same vertical as Island Lake. Once you’re done for the day, make sure to visit the Big Horn Saloon, which offers great meals and moonshine. If you're ready for the perfect cat skiing vacation, choose either one of these great companies, but book now before they sell out.
