Snow, that’s why!  We’re off to a snowy start here at Fernie Alpine Resort, with the snow in fact first falling at the beginning of September right as we were closing down our summer operations!  While it made a brief disappearance so far in October, it returned this week and is a great sign for the upcoming ski season.

It started with a brief dusting overnight the weekend
