 Poster: A snowHead

Just wondering if there are any rumours of new lifts in any Canadian resorts within the next few seasons particularly in Fernie or Kicking Horse?

not that I've heard of at KH or Fernie. But Red is replacing it's lower chair to open up more beginner terrain, and hopefully it'll open up more terrain in the next year or two.
And of course, there's Revelstoke ....

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There is sporadic talk at Fernie IIRC of extending a lift into Fish Bowl but then it will be right up next to ILL property where trespassers will be shot. Plus Fish is a notorius avy trap for the unwary.
The best rumour I heard was that Heiko, the original owner wanted to build a new ski hill elsewhere in the valley because he disliked RCR's attitude and poor value for money for locals.

hd,
They have a great sales pitch but..................I'm waiting 'til they've developed it a bit more and ironed out all the snags.
The place is going to be a building site for the forseeable future.

I wish they'd just put a drag from the bottom of the Falling Star terrain park for now... Two lifts or a hike sucks!

In it's long term plan KH has a chair going off to the next bowl on the left as you look up the mtn. Not sure where they're up to though.

Im keeping an eye on Revelstoke as well but its hard to find any info on when they are opening and what the ticket prices will be. But I might end up going there this year.
Dont think fernie has any new lifts next year. I hope Fish Bowl stays un developed as its gives a good easily accessible back country to go with a guide without hiking your self to death. Falling star terrain park needs a tow rope so does the other park.
I know there are other projects brewing in the area. Cant say more as I dont have any more facts. But I dont think any other mountain in the close vicinity of Fernie attracts as much snow fall as the Fernie Resort one.
