First Powder Tracks of the Season

The biggest pre-season storm in memory has left about a metre up on the Island Lake terrain.  Ryan, one of our guides laid down the first tracks of the season over this past weekend.  As you can see, the powder skiing is fantastic - true champagne powder!  Check out the photos
Catskiing will start soon...

The Lodge is looking spectacular.  We have had close to 70 cms at the lodge from this storm and it looks like we will continue to get snow for the next few days.
Here are a few snow photos from today.

Huge storm hits Fernie!!!!



Holy Cold Smoke!!  Well - the last couple days have been pure blizzard.  In town we have had about 45cms over 2 days - the resort is reporting 50 cms. We have had 50 cms at the Lodge and closer to 70 up high in the terrain.  Here are a few photos from the office, as we have not had any from the lodge yet...hopefully soon.  It looks like Ullar the snow god will continue to hammer us with snow over the next week as well.  Island Lake Catskiing

Snow in the Valley

Wow, looks like we will be getting snow all week here in the Elk Valley.  The jet stream is setting up nicely to push a couple systems into us.  With  a few feet up high already, things should start filling in quickly now.  Can't wait for the first turns of the season!
