Woman Only Catskiing Tours – Renowned Backcountry Resort offer Girlski Tours for third year.
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.
