Blue Bird at the Lodge..
I came to Fernie in 92 to ski at Island Lake Lodge and 16 years later not much has changed. Awesome terrain, great views and big powder days are what the lodge is all about!
Sunrise at the Lodge is always breathtaking as the first rays of light hit the towering peaks displaying the days playground for the first glimpse.
Following a safety talk and brief training by the guides we are loaded into a new Pisten Bully complete with new seats and tunes! After all these years they have Serious radio or a hook up for your own i-tunes.
Butterflies abound as we gather for our first run on Mt. Baldy. The smiles say everything about the snow conditions.
Today the ratio of boarders to skiers has boarders toping the count. Boarders appear get the bottom quickly however they have their moments as well. Guide to the rescue “big fella”!
After a big day of fresh and untracked we gather again on Baldy for our final decent, this time on the “Beer Run” and yes the name is as implies - to the lodge for hot soup and a drink.
As Warren always said, “If you don’t do it this year you’ll be one year older when you do!”
