Lake Lodge, long heralded as a prime backcountry lodge and catskiing
destination, will now be offering guided ski touring as well. Guests will be
transported by snow cat into the mountains where they can enjoy touring 7,000
acres of Island Lake property. The terrain, which includes alpine bowls, gladed
trees and an extensive road network, is ideal for both catskiing and ski
touring. “We have always known our property is great for touring and are very
excited to offer the opportunity to a wider audience,” said guiding manager Niki LePage.
Multi-day stays will include all food and accommodation. Island Lake will offer packages for all levels of skiers from beginner
to expert. Ski touring will be available as single day trips or as two, three
or four day tours starting in April. Each day starts with a snowcat-ride into
the ski terrain to get as much elevation as possible.
