Press Release Summary: Powder Cowboy ready for it's third year offering woman only
Catskiing tours in British Columbia

Press Release Body: Fernie, BC August 5 2008 - 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 Cat skiing 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 Cat skiing 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.
