SPY+WAIST DEEP+ISLAND LAKE CATSKIING: OPENING DAY

March 7th, 2011
With nearly 3 feet of snow falling in the last couple days, the Spy crew could not have asked for a better first day at Island Lake Catskiing.  The weather was absolutely perfect; blue bird and powder. The day started off with a quick safety lesson from the veteran guides, then it was straight to shred.
Eero and DCP waisted no time and quickly found some cliffs to launch off.
Stay tuned for daily action direct from Island Lake Cat Skiing

Waist Deep day 3

March 15th, 2010

Yesterday was the last day of the Waist Deep Trip and everyone ready to step it up and start pushing themselves. We rode pow until 3, just jumping cliffs, launching anything we saw, and slaying open bowls of endless powder. It was the perfect ending to an amazing trip. After shredding we packed up the outbacks and drove back to Whitefish, Montana. By the time we got to Whitefish everyone’s belly’s were grumbling, so we hit an amazing steak house were the beef is so fresh, I swear they were cut it off the cow right out back. On the way back to the hotel from the steak house we spotted a bowling ally, so I mean, we couldn’t pass bowling up. All in all it was hands down an amazing trip. I would like to thank all the Retailers, Consumers, and especially Powder Cowboy for showing us one of the best times we have ever had.

Waist Deep night 2…

March 13th, 2010

After a long day of shredding the gnar, it was time to do what we do best.. Eat and drink. Some how we all showed up to dinner in flannels, which turned the night into a flannel theme, so if you didn’t have one, you got heckled until you did. The chef here at Powder Cowboy is out of hand. All his dishes are amazing in look, and even better in taste. This place is a true paradise.  After the dinner, the ski came back out, the flannel crew started hitting shots down.

Waist Deep Day One!!

March 12th, 2010

Today was day one for the Waist Deep Event. We all woke up and early, met the guides, learned all about the safety on the mountain, then shredded pow!! The snow was amazing, we had gotten about 10 inches of fresh, on top of the other fresh the received before we got here. So it was bottom-less. I am going to let the photos do the talking for me! Enjoy
