FERNIE A deeper meaning of winter Fernie is synonymous with legendary powder, but the almost mythical snowfall is only the beginning of the appeal of this unique winter playground. Completely surrounded by the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the terrain offers endless options for powder-junkies with Fernie Alpine Resort, Island Lake Catskiing, FWA Powder Catskiing and a wealth of sledding and touring. An average of over 30 feet of snow descends onto the slopes annually creating the ultimate steep and deep playground for skiers and snowboarders. read full story http://tourismfernie.com/blog/a-deeper-meaning-of-winter?utm_source=Skiing-eblast&utm_medium=Skiing-eblast&utm_campaign=Skiing-eblast-blog-deal-Nov2015 Did you know?
