While Tourism Fernie will have a new summer video for Fernie out soon, here's a little something to wet your appetite!

Dylan Siggers, one of Fernie's up and coming artists both in film and video, kicked some butt on the Freeskiing World Tour this winter. Here's a glimpse of what he experienced in Kirkwood!

Hot Dog Day had some surprises in store for those in attendance. Vitality Body & Mind created a dance routine and roughly 70 people put in the time to learn the steps to perform together for Fernie's first flash mob! Colourful and fun, it truly made this Hot Dog Day one for the books at Fernie Alpine Resort.

Leading up to Alberta Family Day weekend, Fernie received snow daily in small increments, making for some surprisingly sweet turns at Fernie Alpine Resort. As the tourists poured into town, so did the snow and skiing over the weekend was magical. Monday evening brought 17cms of powder, and the long-weekenders were happy but tired.

Griz Days are coming up in a week, and Kevin Giffin - Director of the Fernie Ski Patrol, is pretty excited about all that's going on!
