People
in general consider traveling
as their personal interests. Traveling
can quickly become an interest simply because it is such an enjoyable
experience. When you travel around the world and you will see a variety of
different cultures and people. There
are two things to remember while traveling. The first thing is to be
open-minded about people and their culture. The second thing and the most
important, is to respect other cultures no matter how different. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!
Fernie Alpine Resort
Fernie Alpine Resort, in the heart of the Canadian
Rockies, is one of the largest ski resorts in the country and very popular with
holidaymakers. Spread along the Lizard Range, Fernie boasts excellent powder,
five bowls, picture perfect scenery and some highly challenging skiing. Its
steep terrain has garnered a serious reputation, as well as a certain mystique
- it is the kind of resort that die-hard snow sport fans seek out to set their
pulses racing. Tucked away as it is, over three hours from Calgary, perhaps the
best part of Fernie is the lack of crowds; Fernie regulars try to keep its
magic to themselves. Skiers and snowboarders can enjoy people-free open runs
and more than 2,500 acres (1,011ha) of skiable terrain. Those taking a break
from the slopes can explore the picturesque town of Fernie, three miles (5km)
from the resort, or indulge in some fire-side drinks and a post-mortem of the
day's runs.
Shopping
in Fernie Alpine Resort
The resort of Fernie is by no means a celebrated shopping
destination, but there are plenty of stores where holiday visitors can enjoy
browsing (particularly on 2nd Avenue in downtown), including food, alpine sport
stores, local arts, crafts and glassware shops, and jewelry and clothing
stores.
Dining
in Fernie Alpine Resort
Although relatively small and out of the way, there are
plenty of dining options for holidaymakers to enjoy on and off the mountain,
with Indian, Thai, Japanese, Mexican and Italian cuisine to supplement the more
traditional Canadian fare. There are both upmarket and more casual eateries on
offer.
Activities
in Fernie Alpine Resort
Fernie has a laid-back, relatively quiet nightlife, so is
not for holidaymakers looking for a huge off-slope party. The Grizzly Bar,
which has been attracting thirsty skiers since 1962, is perhaps Fernie's most
popular off-the-slopes hangout and it attracts quite a crowd with live music
and dancing on weekends. There are some other venues selling cocktails and
offering live music for visitors who are in search of some evening drinks and
entertainment.
Things
to be aware of in Fernie Alpine Resort
The skiing at Fernie is mostly aimed at advanced and
intermediate levels, and can be a serious challenge for beginners. Those
looking for serious nightlife, shopping and extensive après-ski activities will
be disappointed.
Skiing
in Fernie Alpine Resort
Fernie offers some incredible snow conditions and can
boast up to 29 feet (9m) of magical powder each year, with some of the steepest
inbound terrain around. There is plenty of variety and terrain for all levels,
although the resort is perhaps rather challenging for beginners. A good idea is
to take advantage of the free mountain tour to get orientated, and in
particular, to get acquainted with the potential avalanche zones. There is
excellent snowboarding on offer too, and along with a half pipe and a terrain park
there is awesome natural terrain to explore. There are also plenty of ski
schools for beginners, 10 lifts, and a vertical drop of 2,816 feet (858m).
