Fernie unofficially opened for big mountain freeriding with the creation of “Al Matador” by Al Haley. Al’s first name choice was “F U Charlie” however he bowed to the PC movement.

Fernie’s 4200ft adrenalin rush offers awesome vertical and now has a sister run named Dirt Diggler. The trail head can be easily attained by shuttle on a maintained road. These trails can be nice and sticky after a day of rain however are recommended only for expert riders.

In these shots of Al Matador, local riders made the best of a sunny day.
