Know Before You Go
When venturing out in and up the mountains during the winter season be safe, be prepared and tell someone where you’ re going and when you’ ll be back. There are many great websites such as AdventureSmart. ca and Avalanche. ca that provide details on how to be safe outdoors during the winter months. Drop by local sport and gear shops for additional advice and needs, visit TourismFernie. com for details and places to stay. Pick up a map and also download the TrailForks App on to your phone and search for Fernie. Trailforks also uses your smart phone’ s GPS to show you where you are on the winter trails. For snowmobiling details visit FernieSnowmobile. com and for ski touring details visit FernieTrails. com.
Download the TRAILFORKS APP for trail details, GPS navigation data, and user-generated trail condition and grooming updates.
Download for free the Nordic Pulse App from Apple App Store or Google Play to track the grooming on Fernie winter trails!
DISCLAIMER: Winter grooming is done by local nonprofit groups when snow conditions allow. Many trails may not be groomed consistently, or daily or weekly. Please respect the hard work of the groomers and
‘ THINK BEFORE YOU SINK’
Think Before You Sink
Groomed trails are maintained by local non-profit groups for the benefit of everyone. Freshly groomed trails after a snowfall can be soft initially and are sensitive to impacts and ruts that can make the next users experience a less happy one, and also puts a lot of extra work on the groomers. To keep the trails in the best shape for everyone please see below visuals and follow the‘ Etiquette on Groomed Trails’ information on the reverse side of this map.
Please Clean Up After Your Dog
