Today, I was working the face lift when I saw this guy loading the lift with a PM sticker. I asked him if he had change for a nickel, and it turned out to be one of the calgary mags "Oarhead". Oh, and I also saw Fernie Free Heeler, but he is a local.
The Beta in Fernie
The conditions are good, but most of the pow has been tracked out. Two guys say today that Fish bowl was untracked and deep blower pow. It was a blue bird day today, except it was fricking cold, -28 at the face lift this morning.

If you were working the face lift, you'd have seen me yesterday as well. Nothing as distinguishing as the PM sticker on the t@nkers, though.
Although, I was, uhhhh - daydreaming, yeah - when the lift came around and likely looked pretty stupid when I woke up and tried to catch it.
I usually get 20-25 days at Fernie - red jacket, grey pants, black helmet and either black/orange scratch bc's or Elan777's with Freerides - ask for change if you see me.

small hijack
yo Canuks - is skiing as expensive in Canada as it is in the states? Factor in more than just gear...lift tix/passes, high cost of ski towns, gas to get to them expensive as hell, etc...
to do it regularly here, you need either a pretty good addiction (and a fairly good job to help you withstand your addiction) to the sport, or you need to be rich-as-fuckin-hell.

It can be, but getting the early season pass deals and carpooling makes it decent. I likely spend $3500-4000 a year including gas, pass and day tickets when I travel outside the 4 hills my pass covers (I get the pass fom my work, though - which just means I buy gear with that money).
