“March 2007 and 2008 were epic snow months in the Canadian Rockies and we are enticing people to come back or to try cat skiing for the first time. Typically March can be our biggest snow month of the whole season” explains Steve Kuijt, Operations Manager/ guide at Island Lake Lodge and long time resident of Fernie BC. “Last March we experienced some of our most epic days of the whole year on the mountain and we have the pictures to prove it.” Kuijt goes onto explain. Last March saw 24 out of 30 days with fresh snow in the skiing terrain. Also in March Island Lake Lodge Hiking and Mountain spa hosted the 1st annual Photo Shoot Out - a photography contest where six photographers hand picked three athletes to shoot over the 3 days. A panel of judges decided on the best photographs of the day, in the categories of best action, best overall athlete of the day and best scenic/abstract. Over $10,000 worth of prizing was awarded throughout the event. The Photo Shoot Out was a huge success mainly due to the amazing snow the mountains received prior to and during the event.
