TREES ARE FOR GLADES AT RESORTS OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES

Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (RCR), Canada’s largest private ski resort operator, has committed to doing more to lessen their environmental footprint.

For this fall season leading up to winter, RCR, which includes Fernie Alpine Resort, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and Kimberley Alpine Resort in British Columbia, will not be printing a brochure for the very first time.  Instead of printing brochures to hand out at trade shows, the company will focus on re-directing people to their online brochure, while re-investing funds into planting trees with a non-profit organization, Trees for the Future.  For every email sign-up, RCR has committed to planting one tree.

The campaign is called Trees are for Glades.

All information like trail maps, vacation packages and town information can be easily found through their websites.  By asking for email signups, it helps to teach consumers to use more sustainable methods to gather information. The company is in hopes that it sheds light on the amount of unnecessary paper that is consumed on a daily basis.

Over 75,000 pieces of paper will be saved during this campaign, and RCR’s goal is to plant 10,000 trees.

Other environmental commitments: RCR has recently implemented an online waiver system for season passes, has worked to conserve water and energy and implemented recycling programs.

More Information on Trees are for Glades can be found here: www.treesareforglades.com.

 MAJOR RENOVATIONS UNDERWAY AT FERNIE ALPINE RESORT’S BOUTIQUE SKI IN/SKI OUT HOTEL

Fernie, BC – Fernie is a place of firsts. Years ago pioneering mountain guides like Bruno Engler discovered a powder paradise in the Lizard Range. Then in 1962, on land donated by Galloway Lumber, Fernie Snow Valley Ski Resort was born, a mom and pop ski hill guided by the vision of the legendary skiing couple – Heiko and Linda Socher.  In the years that followed the resort underwent an epic transformation from local powder hound’s secret to world class Fernie Alpine Resort, with the addition of new lifts and accessing of five alpine bowls that built on the resort’s already existing appeal for skiers and boarders wanting deep snow and steeps. But as the resort evolved, the developers paid close attention to the visitor experience beyond ski lifts and vertical -they wanted to ensure that a stay on the mountain was memorable, like an immersion in mountain culture. That was the simple but beautiful logic behind the creation of Lizard Creek Lodge, one of the first boutique ski in-ski out lodges in the Canadian Rockies.

The renovations will transform the gorgeous great room at the Lizard Creek Lodge into an even more alluring après ski venue. Some features won’t change, like the expansive ceilings, tall windows with mountain views, and river rock fireplace with its roaring hearth that provides the architectural and design centerpiece for this spectacular space. So to will the devotion to a natural aesthetic that reflects Fernie’s mountain heritage. Think rustic and chic, warm and welcoming – juts the kind of place to settle into your weekend getaway or spend a few hours of après ski luxuriating over a fine meal drawn from a menu grounded in regional inspiration but global in vision and creativity.

Concept Rendering

On one side of the hearth, a new bar will have seating for 110.  On the other side, a long bar will entice skiers, boarders and other winter enthusiasts seeking shelter from the cold and a chance to unwind over a casual après ski cocktail and snack.  There will be space for 110 dining guests – reservations recommended, of course.

When the folks at Fernie broke ground to build Lizard Creek Lodge 15 years ago, they realized that ski in-ski out didn’t have to be cookie cutter condo or resort hotel. Instead it could be boutique, with a great room of tall windows and ceilings that is a warm reflection of the winter mountain world skiers and boarders gather to celebrate. That tradition continues but when the lifts start turning this season, it will be tradition with a twist – a Fernie twist.

Visit our website for more photos, the latest updates and to track the renovation progress!
