Official Construction update on new Polar Peak Chair Lift at Fernie Alpine Resort

Construction is proceeding as planned on new Polar Peak Chair Lift at Fernie Alpine Resort, Fernie, British Columbia. Crews have achieved some important milestones before Mother Nature delivers massive amounts of Legendary Powder Snow for this winter. First it was critical to get the concrete all poured and let it cure. This has been done. All Foundation work has been done. Most major components have arrived and the remainder is coming next week. Drive Station construction is starting next week and the haul rope (all 22 tons of it!) has been delivered to the base of the Polar Peak Lift. Next step will be flying Lift towers.

Powder Matt makes 1st ski tracks at Ski resort in Canadian Rockies for 2011/12 ski season

Snow has fallen on the Canadian Rockies resorts of Fernie Alpine Resort and Nakiska! A Powder Matt tradition is to take the family up to one of our ski resorts in the Canadian Rockies and make the 1st tracks of the winter ski season. Nothing beats spending time with the family in the mountains. The kids and I always spend time checking out the flora and faunea for tell tale signs of an early winter. This year the spotted tussock caterpillars had extra dense fur on them and the squirrels were moving faster than usual to store their nuts.

New Snow in the Canadian Rockies a sure sign of winter coming! Make sure to get your ski vacation booked now. Don’t wait if you are wanting to take a ski vacation during Christmas so you get space.

Welcome Skiers and Riders- enjoy the snow!
