 Poster: A snowHead
|
hi everyone,
im off to fernie on the 20th of feb and am getting slightly worried from a few things that i have read about rain. i keep seeing comments that fernie has good early conditions and then tend to get a fair bit of rain in feb, is this true?
cheers

ssshhhhhhhhh all lies.
I've been told jan and feb are the biggest powder months in fernie. No chance of rain at the moment, it was -26deg this morning! Fernie is quite low so occasionally it can warm up and rain a bit at resort level, however it is often snowing ooop top. Since the hill opened here it has only rained a couple of times.

sabraham, was out with PhotoTim for 10 days over New Year and on only 2 or 3 days we didn't have new snow. It warmed up for a couple of days and rained once in town but this translated to 17cm of fresh on the hill. Don't worry about it...

Sabraham,
Cant speak for this year so far, but last year fernie ROCKED in feb. was there for the season, and at some point in feb, cant remember ecxactly when we had about 6 big pow days in row, which was awesome, if tiring... March was a different matter and it did rain a bit, but there was still great riding and skiing to be had. as Sharkymark says it nearly always snows at the top of the white pass even if it's rain in town. After that though, one of the biggest powder days of the entire season was on April 2nd - don't worry about it is exactly right.
If it does happen to rain, go up anyway, stay on the slopes till you can stand no more, then head into the Griz bar and tuck in - it's all good.
