    i’m with Telus and have never had any problems. I have been at the top of White Pass lift and bottom of Cedar bowl and have had perfect conversation. My phone is 6 years old too.

    Hi all,
    I’m sure some of you guys coming this year on the Nonstop course will have found this site. Have been working nuts off to get on this course, dont know about you lot but cant think of much else :D anybody done a season before? Any suggestions as to how much and what sort of stuff to bring, have a fair bit of skiing under belt but I mean 3-4 months from one suitcase, Also they reckon that about 1500 quid should be enough to buy gear and spending money for the course? Looks like it’s going to be a bumper year for snow early signs are good even in Europe, did Kitzbhuel last year at Xmas there was better conditions in the icebox of my fridge! Still we are not going to have that problem in Fernie eh?

    See you all soon

    I skied in Kitzbuel in February a number of years ago and we had to take three lifts until we could put our skies on. Lesson learned.. if you go to Europe, pick a resort thats above 10,000 feet :?

    In Fernie be prepared to get up early on pow days cause everyone’ll be out there pinning for freshies!!!

    Another reason to get up early is quite often it will be snowing when u wake up but it will be raining by noon down below.

    Yes, the nightclub in the livery building is still the Eldorado. There is a really good restaurant upstairs called the Wood.[/quote:690jfdgm]

    The Wood is on the hill now in the Griz Inn.

    The nightlife in Fernie is pretty limited but here is a bit of low-down:

    Most of the locals go to the [b:690jfdgm]Fernie[/b:690jfdgm] since the ‘Northern’s gone now. has pool table. (has smoking room)

    [b:690jfdgm]The Pub[/b:690jfdgm] (Park Place Lodge) gets a little of everyone but closes earlier than all the rest so then everyone moves on somewhere else. has pool tables and fooseball. gets very busy! (has smoking room)

    [b:690jfdgm]The Eldorado[/b:690jfdgm] is either packed full of people or there’s no one there and its narrow and yeah it does stink and the sound sucks bad! Usually way too loud and distorted. However they do get some good bands in there so watch out for those nights. (no smoking)

    [b:690jfdgm]The Central[/b:690jfdgm] again gets a little of everyone but usually a more sophisticated crowd. It has a very nice interior and is probably my favorite place to go. They have pool tables and fooseball. (no smoking)

    [b:690jfdgm]The Royal[/b:690jfdgm] is alright, can get pretty busy though so you might wnat to get there early. The only thing about the Royal is its a bitch to get a drink cause there is this huge rock pillar in the way and they have too many tables in there. Usually there is a Jam night on Thursdays. (smoking on balcony)

    The is a new bar, i forget what its called, thats opened where the old ‘Northern’ used to be. Its all been redone this summer although i havent set foot in there yet, its supposed to be much much nicer. (prob no smoking)

    ** Remember there is no smoking in bars and restaurants in BC unless there is a completely seperate room with ventaliation designed for smoking.
