More Powder Crazed than a Kid in a Krispy Kreme store

More Powder Crazed than a kid in a Krispy Kreme store. The Griz has delivered- over 3 feet in 48hrs of Dry, Light Pow! The talented Dylan Siggers has captured it – so enjoy, and you better get to Fernie Alpine Resort so you can taste the Powder for yourself! Cold Smoke!

Ski Vacation Tips from Powder Matt
- Ski in, Ski out lodging makes a huge difference as it makes your vacation so easy.
- Get your lift tickets and rentals the night of your arrival – that way you can avoid the chance of any morning line ups and head straight to the slopes!
- Make sure to check our mobile sites for up to the minute conditions – visit www.skircr.com/connected for all links.

We were above the clouds, Skiing with Stars in Fernie

Skiing Above the Clouds

We were above the clouds, Skiing with Stars in Fernie….
Travis Rice and some guy named Justin in Fernie, British Columbia. For us passionate skiers and snowboarders I was stoked to hear pro Snowboarder and one of the best all around snowboarders in the world, Travis Rice, was recently in Fernie. Not only an X Games star but he also co-produced the controversial 2008 Snowboard film ‘That’s it, That’s All’ that also starred his friend and fellow local Jeremy Jones, from Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The other star this week was getting to the top of Polar Peak. For many it was extra special as you climbed above the clouds on the new Polar Peak lift leaving them locked in the Elk Valley.

The other star who was here was some guy named Justin Timberlake…who would of thought that he would have picked Fernie, British Columbia to celebrate his birthday, by snowboarding!

Why not go Polar this weekend!

Time to try Polar Peak

Why not go Polar this weekend! Sunny skies in the forecast and perfect temp’s so looks good for a lap on the new Polar Peak lift at Fernie Alpine Resort. Check out sunrise from this morning
