Lots of vertical, not much horizontal.
I just got back from a fun filled trip to Island Lake Lodge for some cat skiing/boarding. Despite rain at lower elevations and unfavourable snowpack at higher elevations, we were able to get in 3 days of great skiing while avoiding being buried in any avalanches. Our wonderful hosts from BD&P, made sure our legs were tired each day and our apres glasses were full!
Other than great snow, Island Lake rounds out the experience with great food, great hot tub scenery, a wide selection of "cleansing ales", and awesome guides and staff.
Any correlation between avalanches and bent over trees, little saplings all around, and standing on hardpack instead of powder? Nahhh.
In the beginning, god created mountains and powder!
Good times had by all.
