The valley is golden and soon will be white, covered under a blanket of soft snow. Signs of snow are visible however the Griz has not unleashed his musket. With the colour change come a change of life. Bikes and runners will be stored, and skis, snowshoes, winter boots, snow tires, shovels, snowmobiles, and other items will emerge.

Here are a few pics from the resort. The snow guns remain idle, the chairs and t’s are hung, new trails have been cleared and the Bears Den is in repair.

Hopefully the stars and planets will soon align and the Griz will speak.

Fernie’s public school children are enjoying a great effort by retired Principal Frank Lento who organized the funding and implemented construction of the new playground.  Well done Frank!
