An Epic Catski Season has Ended
Submitted by Island Lake Cat... on Tue, 2012-04-17 08:58It is sad, but the 2011/12 catski season has ended. It turned out to be one of the best years in the last decade. Hard to beat the 10/11 season, which was the best in 12 years, but we sure came close. We ended up with a 5 metre compressed base at treeline and about 13 metres of accumulated snowfall on the Lizard Range!! Yes - that is about 43 feet of snowfall. We had various memorable storms, including February 26th when we had 1 metre or over 3 feet of snow in 24 hours. The powder was low density blower pow and our catskiing guests were simply amazed.&nb
