Island lake Lodge is at the very highest end of accommodation available in Fernie. The lodge was started over 20 years ago and supporters of the area include some of the biggest names in the snow sports industry including the legendary Craig Kelly. With recent investment into the resort, it has become more than a cat skiing specialist. Other facilities now include a luxurious spa and a choice between 4 different lodges with the original "Bear Lodge" serving as the hub for the resort.
