Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone, and we hope you have a healthy and prosperous new year on 2012.

We have been having a couple of problems with our mail system recently, so please forgive us if you have had an email bounced back to you or if it appears we haven’t replied at all. Our emails seem to be up and running again, so please don’t hesitate to write to book, or to ask us any questions about the B&B, the service at our B&B or about Fernie and the ski hill.

Wam Bam 2011

So, it was the Wam Bam this weekend! Fernie’s dirt jump championships. Started by our friends Thomas and Colleen Dunn, the championships are for anyone from amateur children to adults in their forties, rounding off with the pros jumping under lights late into the night. The standard of competition was amazing, there was no let up form 7pm until well after 10pm, and a huge crowd was there right until the end!

Old Growth Trail

Cath and I decided to clear the cobwebs on Sunday. Originally we planned to hike the Tamarak Trail up Mt Fernie, but you know how things get, and anyway we had plenty to talk about, so a strenuous 6.5km hike up a mountain wasn’t idea. We’d been meaning to hike the Old Growth Trail for a long time, and thought that it would be an easy hike through the forest. The trail itself is stunning as you walk among the centuries old giant cedars. You are dwarfed everywhere you look, and better still, it remains cool under the canopy on a hot day. I have to say that, although we didn’t climb that mountain on Sunday, we had a great couple of hours chatting, being together and exploring this trail.

Trans Rockies

We had a great time down at the Trans Rockies again this year, and the excitement lasted much longer than normal because the race remained in and around Fernie for three whole days before heading up to Canmore! One of the most difficult bike races in the world, the Trans Rockies test bikers speed, ability, endurance, and stubbornness over seven days. For the first time this year the first three days took place on mostly single track trails in the mountains around Fernie, so the carnival atmosphere lasted all weekend as riders shot our of the starting corral, shot around town and then blasted over the finishing line, faces alive with adrenaline.
