Island Lake Catskiing is one of the premier catskiing operations in all of British Columbia, and a prime destination within B.C. is the area around Fernie. 95% of the world's heliskiing and catskiing takes place in B.C. every season, and it's no wonder with all the great snow that naturally piles itself up here during the winter. The snow that falls here is some of the driest, most fluffy snow that falls anywhere in the world, making for a perfect visit to the backcountry just about any day of the season.
