My experience with the Fernie Dog Sledding team certainly lived up to expectations for fun in the fresh air, and I highly recommend a trip with Colin and his Alaskan Huskies as a great way to spend a few hours or a whole day.
Fernie is known for its legendary powder (and we always live up to it), but this past week Fernie had the biggest snowfall anywhere in North America, with a phenomenal 111cms in 48 hours! With fresh tracks every ride down, there were a lot of smiling faces in the hotel.
Last year we had a list of resolutions to bring us into the New Year; this year we all tried on a guest's hat and came up with some longer-term "promises" to ensure our guests' needs remain paramount.
I’ve been asked by many people in the last couple of months; what is it about Fernie that made me decide to pack up my life in the middle of a gorgeous Aussie summer and move alone to the other side of the world – to a cold dark winter no less? To be honest, I never really settled back into corporate life in the city after my 6 weeks in Fernie last year with Nonstop; the mountains were calling me all year long and so when the opportunity presented to work with the Nonstop team at the Red Tree Lodge in Fernie I jumped at it.
