The Bear Lodge is where it all started back in 1988. if these walls could talk, they would tell some amazing stories... Legends like Craig Kelly and Scot Schmidt sitting around the fire, talking about their "deep powder" day on the mountain. Today, the hub of the Island Lake Catskiing, The Bear Lodge is where you will experience après ski. Each day after skiing you will enjoy hearty homemade soup and fresh baked breads, with your favorite beverage from our huge selection of beer and cocktails. After dinner in the Tamarack, return to the Bear Lodge for a game of pool or darts - you never know, you might just bump into a legend... Download a catski info package
