WINTER EVENTS

Raging Elk Dummy Downhill 2027

START TIME 03/07/2027 at 1PM
END TIME 03/07/2027 at 3PM
LOCATION Fernie Alpine Resort

A highlight of Fernie’s winter Griz Festival! Strictly for fun, this competition features imaginative & hilarious “dummies” on skis launching themselves off a gigantic jump beside the Timber Chair.

The dummies can be created from various materials, and creativity is stressed. They are judged on their construction, creativity, theme, the distance they fly off the jump and the carnage factor when they land.

Prizes are awarded for the best construction, theme/name, disintegration, flight, and more!
