Fernie Day 6: It’s Still Snowing
Day 6 now. We had a few beers last night and some late hot tub action in the neighbouring Lizard Creek Lodge, so I didn’t get a chance last night to post anything. So yesterday, which was our fourth day on the hill, was supposed to be greeted with around 20cm of fresh snow… It [...]
Fernie Day 5: Lost For Words
It’s our fifth day in Fernie, it’s 7am here. My Blogger settings are still configured for the UK, so sometimes the day number won’t match the post date… Today will be our fourth day on the mountain; yesterday was our third – which is what I’m going to tell you about now (I was way [...]
Fernie Day 4: Morning Update
8:30 here. About to head out to the lift. We don’t know which bowls are open yet; if they’ve opened Lizard and/or Cedar that’s a whole lot of fresh pow to be ridden. We might also see groomed runs for the first time today :-0 Checking the weather forecast it looks like it’s going to [...]
Fernie Day 3: Epic Powder
So much snow. The official snow report shows that Fernie had 71 cm of snow in the last 48 hours. Awesome. There was so much snow up there today. It was everywhere.

Fernie Day 3: Morning Update
It’s stopped snowing. It’s around 8am here, getting ready to go out. According to the weather information it dropped around 27cm last night. Looking out of the window confirms this. That’s like 55cm in the last two days. I can’t wait to go out today. It’s gonna be cold mind with a temperature high of [...]
Fernie Day 2: The Griz Doesn’t Disappoint
I woke this morning to the sound of a cat passing by our window. Man I was excited; like a child at Christmas… With good reason too. After arriving in resort last night, the snow continued to fall throughout the evening, and then through the night. We were chatting with a local who was predicting [...]
Fernie Day 1: Getting There
It’s been a long day. We set off this morning, UK time, at 02:45. By the time we’d collected Martin, dropped the cars off and arrived at the airport it was 06:45, for a 09:30 flight. The flight upgrades we’d opted for came in handy as we jumped straight to the front of the queue. [...]
All Set
We set off for Canada tomorrow morning. I almost can’t believe that it’s here already. Having such a busy week at work has made it creep up I think… Well I’m all set now. It’s an early start tomorrow, around 3am, and all that’s left to do is shoot nervous glances at my board bag. [...]
