Thursdays Race Night at Fernie Alpine Resort is popular amongst riders. A very relaxed and social event where $5 get you entry and a free post race pint at Kelsey's at the Resort Base. Prizes for category winners, as well as door prizes.

This hike is an ascent of Lizard Bowl. The spectacular vistas of the Elk Valley will be unobscured and the opportunities to view wildlife will increase as you get higher. On the trip you will pass two or three areas where the alpine wildflowers are numerous. The fossils are everywhere in the limestone as this was at one time ancient shallow seabeds. The view from the top of Facelift will fill you with a sense of the magnitude of the mountains.

Hike to Polar Peak at an elevation of 7010 feet. The Trailhead will be accessed via a scenic ride on the Timber Express Chairlift.

Take a ride on the Timber Side! The Timber Express Chairlift will whisk you up the top of the mountain where you will experience spectacular views of the Elk Valley.
