Fernie was amazing. We had just under 12 metres of snow and the snowpack was still at 3.5 metres when they closed the hill. One of my favourite areas of the hill was Cedar bowl either dropping into Cedar Ridge from North Ridge or traversing around the top from the Bear Chair and a slight hike upto Snake Ridge.
The town is great. Really friendly and some great places to go out. The Brickhouse and El Dorado are great and The Central gets really busy. For eating The Curry Bowl and (can't remember what it's called) the Sushi restaurant are both good. Also Kelvins Kitchen for Chinese. There are also lots of places Downtown to eat. For buying snowboard gear go to Commit on 2nd Av or Edge of The World behind the hockey rink. |

If you want somewhere to stay check out The Red Tree Lodge on 7th Avenue. It is booked from the end of December until the end of the season but if you need somewhere to stay that's comfy, affordable and with all the fun extras (hot tub, bar, restaurant, swimming pool, etc) give them a call.
Perhaps you might need some where to stop over before you find a place of your own?
Good luck and have a great time, Fernie really is all that people make it up to be! |

ahh wicked mate, just had a look on their site. looks like exactly what im looking for! ive got somewhere between 25 to 30 weeks on snow so figure doing a full on course would be a bit silly just for level 1. the way im reading it they teach you how to teach in the 3 days and provided you can board and listen it shouldnt be toooo hard.
think i'll try and do this provided u can in fernie!
now... back to the revision (haha) |
