adventures by the Island Lake Resort Group

Press Release Body: Fernie, BC Canada August 5, 2008 - As more families are looking
to experience outdoor adventures together, Island Lake Lodge and Powder Cowboy Cat
skiing are filling that demand by offering 7 Family Ski Tours this winter.

"Cat skiing at Island Lake or Powder Cowboy is the perfect adventure holiday for
families who love to ski" explains Corrie Wright, long time guide at Island Lake
Lodge and father of two. "With the great camaraderie and friendly interaction you
get in a snowcat, paired with attentive guides and amazing powder skiing Family-Ski
Tours offer for an incredible and memorable experience for the whole family."
Tours just for families were developed by the Island Lake Resort Group in order to
accommodate a growing demand by their long term guests to bring their children along
and experience the legendary powder of the Canadian Rockies. . "So many of our
clients are repeat customers and as they get older, so do their children. We started
to get so many requests to have them bring their children that we decided to
dedicate whole tours to this kind of business" said Steve Kuijt, operations manager
and guide at Island Lake Lodge.
Family-Ski tours include the use of powder skis or snowboards, deluxe lodge
accommodation, stretch class, 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. Family Ski Tours are run by ACMG certified guides.
