Fernie, BC Travel Guide 2019/2020 | Page 28

Winter in Fernie, BC Winter season is what Fernie is most known for across the globe thanks to it’s legendary snow. From November to mid-April the snowy mountains radiate in the bright winter sun above our welcoming town. Forest trails and alpine bowls create a winter wonderland for acres of unrivalled adventure that includes alpine skiing and snowboarding, catskiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. The very mountains that we play among have inspired the legends that define Fernie, where the mythical Griz brings the pillowy soft snow that we call champagne powder. Fernie’s winter festival Griz Days pays homage to this legend each year with fun activities and the annual Extreme Griz Competition. The deeply rooted ski season has been welcoming and inspiring visitors for decades. From Fernie’s lively cultural hubs to the comforts of mountain- side pubs and hot tubs and the convenience of ski-in ski-out lodging, guests will find themselves immersed in local hospitality and a true Canadian Rockies winter experience. tourismfernie.com | #ferniestoke 28
