    Let’s hope that the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies PR department reads this chat site and takes notice of these complaints.

    My issue is with the lift system: time for a better lift out of Cedar that goes to the top of the hill.

    Jeff,

    You might want to reread my “bad” advice, since I think that we are giving the same advice – a car rental, though expensive, is the wisest choice for a group of 6 in Calgary.

    Who would have thought that this would be a hot topic?

    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.

    Hi Prue,

    Sorry, the unit has been spoken for. I will let you know if things don’t go through.

    Thanks.

    Fernie is a town of 5,000 year-round residents.

    You will be able to meet all of your daily needs with the stores in town. There are 2 (really 3) main grocery stores, for instance, each of which are huge and modern. You will be able to completely outfit your home with Fernie stores, though the culture seems to be to leave your big-ticket items to the tax-free haven of Alberta stores that are 1-2 hours away.

    To give this some context, I live in downtown Toronto where options are endless and, frankly, I prefer shopping at a few of the cool Fernie shops (like the cool hardware store or the Polar Peak bookstore on 2nd).

    The Fernie Chamber of Commerce website (http://www.ferniechamber.com), Fernie.com (http://www.fernie.com), or Fernie eStreet (http://www.fernie-estreet.com) might be able to give you some idea of more specific stores and services.

    Good idea moving there.

    This is probably a great price for the bike, but well outside of my range.

    Thanks, though.

    Hi Dan,

    Have you got a ball park price in mind for the bike?
