Think Before You Sink
Fernie multi-use groomed trails are maintained by local volunteers for the benefit of everyone and a variety of activities including walking , fat biking , trail running , snowshoeing and xc skiing . To keep the trails in the best shape for everyone please follow the below winter groomed multi-use trail etiquette :
Freshly groomed trails may need a bit of time to set so walkers , fat bikers or runners don ’ t break through , leave bootpack holes or ruts . If this is happening stay to the side of the trail , use a different trail or wait until it ’ s firm .
Fat tire bikes are recommended for winter trails . You should have enough flotation and traction that you aren ’ t leaving a rut and you can safely control your bike . See reverse side for winter fat biking etiquette .
Please Clean Up After Your Dog
If your furry friend is with you , please clean up after them and ensure no poo is left on the trails .
Fernie has many furry friends and welcomes visitors with dogs too , but please keep them on a leash or , when signs allow , close and under control as many conflicts or incidents can easily happen with other dogs , wildlife or people , especially young kids who can be afraid of dogs .
