Well the ski hill opened as promised with their "sneak preview" weekend and the skiing was great! There was quite a few opportunities to ski powder throughout the weekend. I spoke to many happy skiers who all had a great weekend on the mountain. The official opening is this coming weekend (December 5th) where the remainder of the mountain will open. I am guessing that the skiing off the White Pass will be phenomenal. We did loose some snow in the valley over the last week, but it has continued to snow in the mountains- helping to grow that oh so important snow pack. As Fernie launches into the full swing of winter the number of people with broad smiles on their faces goes up proportionally! Hope to see your smiling face on the slopes and streets of Fernie soon!

That's right folks epic early powder skiing is about to be had by the lucky few who either live in Fernie or make it a priority to get to Fernie this weekend. The resort just announced this morning that the skiing is just so good, they have to share it! With over 130 cm base they are pleased to be opening most of the "old side" with powder skiing in the Lizard and Cedar Bowls and groomers on North Ridge, Bear and the lower mountain. The weather forecast is calling for clear skies and sunshine as well!
So what are you waiting for.....get on down to Fernie.....see you on the slopes!

With the snow that has fallen recently we now have over 100 cm's at the top of White Pass Lift. There is a lot precipitation in the forecast for the next week or so and hopefully it comes in the form of snowflakes! That's what the weather network is calling for anyway......keep your fingers and toes crossed!
