Fernie Fix Blogs

Over the last week I have been skipping the roads and the Wigwam and exploring in town. Here is what I've found so far!

River Road is good to go, and adds more climbing to your ride than Cokato to Morrissey or Elko.

With the end of every ski season I find myself a little melancholy. Don’t get me wrong, birds chirping outside and sunshine peeking through the front window brings the excitement of getting on my bike!

One of my favourite weeks of the ski season has come and gone, and it was definitely one for the books.

The brain child of Kieran Summers, (many that know him refer to him as the godfather of Hot Dog Day), this popular event began roughly 13-14 years ago when a he decided to get a crew together to mimic those donning the screens in classic ski movies such as Hot Dog the Movie and Aspen Extreme. Not surprisingly, the trend gained momentum and years later it continues to be a highlight of the winter season.

Like many in our community, I bike a lot. My feet are often found in tight, plastic shells in all types of weather - freezing cold, wet and muddy, hot and clammy... the result is not pretty. And this is me justifying my need to "pamper" them regularly.

It's been a while since I last posted a playlist, and what better day than the first day of Spring while working on our Summer Guide? Spring is definitely not in the air in Fernie - a multitude of snow is currently accumulating on the ground outside, but here's to its swift arrival.
