Fernie, BC - With the growing demand for
women specific opportunities, the Island Lake Resort Group is offering
their popular Girlski Tours at both Island Lake Lodge and Powder Cowboy
Catskiing this winter season.
Fresh dry powder, deluxe
accommodation, and amazing food and wine shared amongst a few close
friends have always been the draw of Catskiing at these resorts in the
Canadian Rockies. “After rave reviews from last year’s sold out Girlski
Tours, we are excited to be offering three Girlski tours this winter”
said Kirsten Knechtel, lead guide and operations manger at Powder
Cowboy Catskiing.
Girlski tours were developed by the
Island Lake Resort Group to entice more women into the sport of back
country powder skiing. “90% of our clients are men, and when I go out
there and ski with them it’s great, but I can’t help but wonder why
more women don’t come out and do this? It is incredibly fun and really
exciting, and you don’t have to be an expert” said Powder Cowboy’s
lodge manager Sandra DaCosta.
These all inclusive tours include the
use of women specific powder skis or snowboards, deluxe accommodation,
yoga, gourmet food and all the powder skiing one can manage in a day!
Both operations also offer spa treatments, an eclectic wine list, and
outdoor hot tubs. Girlski tours are run by female ACMG certified
guides, and female cat drivers which helps to foster a supportive, non
competitive and fun environment for the guests.
