Happy Family Day Weekend
To all Alberta visitors: Happy Family Day weekend! What a great weekend to be in Fernie...a little extra snow on the ground has made the trails at the Golf Course really great for both classic or skate skiing! Don't forget to grab your day pass in the box by the Clubhouse. Or you can do it online, at the link in the box to the right that says "Become a Member". Enjoy, and come back next weekend for our 2nd Annual Community Race!
