Fernie Alpine Resort’s summer season is filled with exciting events for the entire family. The summer begins with a fun Fernie Alpine Resort Open
Tennis Tournament on June 26 & 27, a great chance to get out and practice your swing for a chance to win some great prizes. Fernie’s educational and always-popular Geology Walk ‘n Talk will be held on August 7. Fernie will once again be welcoming riders from across the nation, at the Canada Cup Mountain Bike Series, August 14 & 15. Mountain Mania Kids Adventure Weekend
is back, August 21 to 22 and promises activities and games for kids of all ages. For a complete listing of summer events log on to www.skifernie.com



The Timber Express Chair will also be open briefly this summer to provide
biking and hiking. The dates are August 7 & 8, 12 through 15. Be sure to
book your hiking trip with our on-site guide or perhaps take a picnic lunch
to the viewing deck and feast on the scenery.



“Fernie is the mecca for adventure and truly one of few places that you can
go for the best lift accessed adventure ride in the Canadian Rockies. You
can take your bike ride in the morning, participate in a course from a
geologist mid day and fish the world class waters of the Elk River to end
the day.” says Matt Mosteller, Senior Director of Business Development for
Resorts of the Canadian Rockies. “Life is great in Fernie!” added Mosteller.



Fernie Alpine Resort’s Summer Sports School provides programs for all ages
and abilities. Little Adventurers (ages 3 to 6) and Kids Adventure Camps
(ages 6 to 12) are offered daily on a half or full-day basis. Look into the
30-day punch cards for only $249.00 + tax. Discover Mountain Biking
provides first-timers with a lift pass, bike rental and instruction. Fernie
’s Tennis Instructors are on hand to help perfect that stroke, or relax and
just enjoy the views on a horseback trail ride. For the more adventurous,
whitewater rafting can be arranged, or sit back and enjoy a Starbucks coffee
on the deck of the Mountain Adventure Centre. To make summer legendary,
visit the Guest Services desk at Fernie Alpine Resort for information on all
summer programs, events and activities.
