Let’s get this party started! Skiers and riders get ready for higher times. Some days stick in your mind. This is always one of those days. A flurry of snowy images smashing through your social feeds like skis cutting new lines in fresh December powder. But hey wait. This is still November.
When one of the snowiest Novembers on records hit your region—-what do you do.
Early turns with Fernie Ski Patrol
Snow testing with Fernie Ski Patrol on November 11th – heads only visible in the cold smoke. It was that good. More snow has fallen with over 7 feet of it to date.
