These past few days have been absolutely spectacular in our neck of the woods! Bright blue skies, warm sunshine drenching our winter-laden bodies…the mountains are so regal…still draped in their capes of white. The birds are twitterpating, the squirrels are loudly scolding anyone who passes by their humble abodes too close in proximity and the […]
And….that’s a wrap! That’s all she wrote! Done and doner! What a closing weekend! With fresh powder both Saturday and Sunday, the 2012/2013 season went out with a bang! The festivities got underway with the Powder, Pedal, Paddle event on Saturday morning followed in the afternoon by a fantastic rockin’ concert by legendary Canadian rock […]

Oh dear…about that Christmas list….um….okay so I’ve got a good jump on next Christmas haven’t I! Apologies to my family…but at least I called on […]
So let me get this straight…..you want me to grab my ski gear, put on the brand spanking new Fernie Lodging Company jacket and hit the slopes to schmooze…and get paid to do it? START THE CAR!!!!! Seriously! With over 56cms of champagne powder falling on our magnificent mountain over the last 48 hours and over 143cms […]
That’s right…..ski season has finally arrived and I made it official by hitting the slopes at Fernie Alpine Resort on Sunday…it was so much fun! Now granted, there were only 4 lifts open, but I made sure I hit every one of them at least twice. It was snowing like crazy and every run was better and […]
Okay I have tried to sit down and write a new post for 3 weeks now….but I’ve been busy studying for my Masters in…and if you believe that, I have a piece of property in…oh dear…I digress….truth is I just couldn’t decide what to write about! Fernie is the coolest town to live in and […]
