Catskiing

Shooting Sherpas

Awesome music - awesome photos.  A great slide show by the Island Lake photographers late in 2011.  Wide landscapes, deep powder, steep pitches, open bowls, high alpine and endless trees.  Cat skiing at it best.

Island Lake and Mica Heli get some amazing camera time.  Check out this 20 plus minute video on Canadian Rocky skiing.  Snowboading powder in British Columbia with Cats and Helicopters.

The Balance of Powder is a 23 minute TV show created for Island lake and Mica. A large portion of the Sherpas full length movie ALL.I.CAN was also filmed at the 2 locations.

Skiing and Snowboarding: Different but the Same Exhilarating Experience

Even before starting to write this article, I was frustrated by the fact that snowboarding and skiing have two different names.  It makes the whole discussion around the two colossally worthwhile ways of playing in the snow so very awkward.
Take for example the phone conversation that begins many a day on the slopes: You want to say, “Hey bro, wanna go skiing tomorrow?”  Cat skiing.
