enticing people to come back or to try cat skiing for the first time. Typically
March can be our biggest snow month of the whole season” explains Steve Kuijt,

mountain and we have the pictures to prove it.” Kuijt goes onto explain. Last March
saw 24 out of 30 days with fresh snow in the skiing terrain. Also in March Island
Lake Lodge Hiking and Mountain spa hosted the 1st annual Photo Shoot Out - a
photography contest where six photographers hand picked three athletes to shoot
over the 3 days. A panel of judges decided on the best photographs of the day, in
the categories of best action, best overall athlete of the day and best
scenic/abstract. Over $10,000 worth of prizing was awarded throughout the event.
The Photo Shoot Out was a huge success mainly due to the amazing snow the mountains
received prior to and during the event.
