Welcome to Pow Town!!

After a mid-January high pressure system moved on, we have received over 50 cms in 48 hours and almost a metre for the week.  Ullar has smiled upon Fernie and Island Lake Catskiing and given the white bounty all week long.  The forecast is for even more snow over the next couple of days.  Lets get catskiing!!
