Title
Bears Above the Valley: A History of Catskiing and Snowboarding at Island Lake Lodge,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The limestone spires of the Three Bears rise above the Lizard Range and Cedar Valley like sentinels guarding a secret place. And a very special place it is. The Cedar Valley is home to a unique oldgrowth rainforest including 800yearold cedar trees. The Valley's intense microclimate produces an unusual amount of snow for this part of the Rocky Mountains, adding to the reputation of one of the bestknown backcountry lodges in North America: Island Lake Lodge. Bears Above the Valley explores the diverse history of the Cedar Valley and Island Lake Lodge, well documented with stunning photography and insightful text. Scot Schmidt, godfather of freeskiing, and Craig Kelly, pioneer of big mountain snowboarding, are two of the many skiindustry characters who are covered. Their pursuit of backcountry lines, deep powder and big mountain freedom are an integral part of the Island Lake story.
