[quote:c565euc9]A six person car will cost you a fortune for two weeks. Still it may be worthwhile.

A return shuttle to Fernie is about $110-125 per person return (though there is an awful Greyhound coach for a little less). That is at least $660

If you are staying in downtown Fernie, everything is walkable and you don’t need a car to get around. The shuttle to the hill is $2.50 each way if you prepay for a discount card. That is $420 to get the six of you to the hill and back for 14 days. Throw in a few cab rides for groceries etc. and the total is about $450.

That is $1,110 for some barebones transit. For a little extra, you may be better off with a car, so you can get home from the terrific aquatic centre without forming ice pellets in your hair.

Have a fun trip.[/quote:c565euc9]

This is absolutely [b:c565euc9]BAD[/b:c565euc9] advise!!!! I rented a Dodge Caravan in Calgary from Budget(I believe) last winter for a week for just $350. 2 weeks would be approx. $700. This is with unlimited milage! You would be crazy to spend that much for “barebones transit”!!!!!
