Since we posted some latest construction images of the new Aerial Playground and Rippin Zip-line at Fernie Alpine Resort, I have been flooded by e-mail and texts, from kids stoked to play in the trees! Last summer I went on a tour of Aerial Parks, as my kids had been bugging to try what they [...]

Fernie new Aerial Playground and Rippin Zip opens soon!
Last year the Provincial Government announced a new February stat holiday day for British Columbia. Over the next week, the government is consulting with British Columbians on the benefits of placing this holiday with the 2nd or 3rd weekend of the month.
Neighbouring jurisdictions such as Alberta and Washington have a similar holiday on the 3rd weekend. For this reason, many popular tourism destinations and travel routes are very busy with out-of-province visitors (eg: ferries, hotels, resorts).
Fernie Alpine Resort, Kimberley Alpine Resort and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and every other resort in British Columbia has said the 2nd weekend of February would be the best weekend for a holiday. Currently, the 3rd weekend of February is a busy weekend which limits the capacity of resorts to accommodate BC residents. Placing the holiday on the 2nd weekend would allow many more British Columbians to enjoy a mountain resort vacation with fewer crowds and, as a result, likely better prices.
On a personal level, and regardless of skiing, there are benefits of travelling outside of busy vacation periods. Travellers have a greater choice of destinations, lower cost, and fewer travel hassles such as at the ferry terminals or airports. The 2nd weekend represents a greater opportunity for British Columbians to enjoy their own province.

I Love Fernie
Stoked Skier and or Rider said “Show em what you got!
Thanks for the awesome closing weekend…”
This ski season was one of my best! I enjoyed the community celebration of 50 years of Skiing, I loved how everyone got involved and shared their passion for skiing and snowboarding, I loved the deep, close to 38 feet of snow that the Griz and his sister La Nina provided and loved all of the great events and run, after ski run through each of the Legendary 5 Bowls and the thigh burning fun of Polar Peak (long, steep, fall-line powder runs that can’t be beat!)…..Thank you for skiing and riding with us! Cheers to our great team! (some of who are heading off on their travels home)
I will leave you with this great video….Enjoy!
