Fernie, BC – Continuing with the tradition of thanking our community, the resort will offer a Community Appreciation Day of skiing/riding to locals on Sunday, January 19, 2025.
Elk Valley/Jaffray/Grasmere residents can get a lift ticket for January 19th by donation (cash donation is preferred). The minimum donation is $10 per ticket for individuals and $20 minimum donation per family. While those are the minimum donations, we encourage residents to donate what they can as 100% of the donations collected on Community Appreciation Day will be going towards the Fernie Food Bank.
Community Day tickets are available to Elk Valley Residents (including Fernie, Elko, Elkford and Sparwood area) as well as Jaffray and Grasmere residents.
Proof of local residency along with photo ID are required to receive the lift ticket. Proof of local residency includes a driver’s license with an Elk Valley/Jaffray/Grasmere address or a document showing an Elk Valley/Jaffray/Grasmere address (pay stub, utility or tax bill) along with a photo ID to match the name on the document.
While you’re here for our Community Day, check out our Winter Art Discovery. Fernie Alpine Resort is thrilled to partner with The Fernie Arts Station and District Arts Council to bring you Winter Art Discovery, an immersive outdoor art experience showcasing the incredible talent of local artists.
In this unique exhibit, artists have transformed skis and snowboards into captivating works of art. Each piece reflects the artist’s individual style and connection to nature, creating an enchanting visual experience as you ride through the forest. Free from constraints, the artists have infused their creations with creativity and flair, turning the slopes into an outdoor gallery.
These original artworks are displayed along the Cedar Trail, easily accessed via the Lower Bear Run. This exhibition is inspired by R.O.A.M. (Revelstoke’s Outdoor Art Movement), blending the worlds of art and outdoor adventure.
January 19th will also be part of our Avalanche Awareness Days. Fernie Alpine Resort joins Avalanche Canada, other resorts and clubs to celebrate winter and avalanche education through Avalanche Awareness Days on January 18th and 19th.
More information about this event and others can be found on our Events Calendar.
