We attended the awards which were held as part of the London Ski Show. Great evening at really proud to see Fernie win out over this competition, coming back for our 12th season visit to Fernie.
I’m going to Fernie for a week in January — after going to Whistler for many years we decided to make this a year we visit the interior. Looking forward to it!
