I think the problem is the merge sign on the Hwy at the entrance to FAR coming from the Elko side. hahaha It makes people mad as it is directed at the SKIHILL traffic coming off the hill. THEY HAVE TO MERGE onto the HIGHWAY, not the other way around! I have thought many a time on my way home from work at 4:30 about this, as I almost get creamed at least 4 times a week by a ” non-local” zooming to beat me! Yah I know not really the topic here but I had to vent, as it happened AGIAN today.
I do not think your family would be in any danger Czar. I seems to be related to the “nighttime ” activities of the town. *HIC*
I have been here for 5 years and have never had a problem. Maybe it is because I am married to a local? Naaa, he thinks all this stuff that is going on is nonsense as well, and makes all the people who are from Fernie look the jackass’s. Hopefully it gets better before it gets worse, and Fernie gets a bad rep.

Fernie is an ideal place. Maybe you will meet a local yocal and settle down and live here for a long time!! It has not been a long time for me- 4years- but it is great and I did meet a great guy! It is very friendly. I have found it is neat because, if you go out, as in nightlife all genders are SUPER friendly. If you want some personal pics of the area, I could let you see some scenery. Not just nightlife, but actual life, as in every day stuff. It is close nit in way, you have your locals, but I think basically everyone is welcome. At least that’s how I felt. I do have family roots here as well (My mom was born in Natal) I started out “seasonal” not as a skier, but in the forest industry and ended up moving away one winter to find work and came back as it is a great place to live. I am now fulltime in the area and love it.(and hey, I may even have a super deal on a SUV for you! as I am selling) Anyhow PM me if you want. Cheers!
oh and get on the looking for a place to rent NOW. If you do look now you may secure something!

I lived in the interior of BC, weather is basically the same. I did get away with a battery warmer for 2 years on a ’90 Chev Sprint ( I bought it on the coast, so no block heater). I just did not drive around much when it was
-30! It does work, but YES a block heater is the best thing.

Have you tried :

http://www.fernie.com for events.

http://www.mountainperks.ca/ offers a shuttle bus from calagary airport to fernie and is about $70.00 and it is 3.5 hours.

The bus, well you have to take a bus from the airport into calary to the bus station-$15.00, then get on the bus to Fernie-another $56.00, and it is anywhere from 5.5 to 7 hours as it stops everywhere!

This seems to be an on going battle of insults. I have not been able to post a reply as something was wrong with my account until today, but have been reading this bickering. I have been a member for a couple years now and enjoy seeing what people have to say. I am not a local to fernie, no, just been here a few years, I do live with a local who was born in the hospital where the Pub now stands.
I am not a “redneck’ or a “hippy” or whatever names there may be, but I do have opions on what ” manly-seaeagle” has to say. I am not wanting an insulting reply, but your knowledge or should I say lack there of in regard to BC’s logging industry and hunting laws is quite limited.

“and dont worry about the reef its sweet compared to the destruction you and your stupid american neighbours are doing to the forests and wildlife. just go stand out on the highway for a few minutes and count how many logging trucks pass, full to the top. if it moves shoot it right…..red neck wake up!!” This is your quote.
BC has limited entry hunting draws, for the exact reason as to not deplete the animals. We know what is plentiful and what is not, and these laws enforce that and make sure no permant damage is done. As for logging , well we are taking the beetle infested trees, and yes some others are included. DO you have any knowledge of the forestry industry? Yah, stand on the highway and watch the trucks go by full of beetle infested wood. It would otherwise will in the forest and die anyhow or be a huge wildfire hazard in the future. As well in the summer the trees that are still green, well the little bugger inside will wake up and fly to MORE tress, causing MORE destruction.When we log areas we are obligated to reforst them. It is also a law. The beetle is beyond anyones control, so don’t bicker to me about that. I am sure you have pests that destroy things on your continent as well, that are out of control. I have pictures of ares that have been clearcut logged and now are beautiful forests again. I grew up on a ranch and my dad shot out meat. I see a gazillion other wild game ALL THE TIME. Also if you must know, I think we NEED to shhot more elk as they cause quite a lot of problems on trees as well. They eat seedling you see…This could be a never ending argument, but I will end it there. I will be enjoying a beer tonight at the Fernie, and will put my money where my mouth is, if you have any other unresearched comments you wish to discuss. Just look foer the long blonde hair. Take care. I do hope you have a wonderful time surfing in the hot sun when you return home. Just please don’t throw insults out about things you obvoisly do not know about. Oh and if I have any SPELLING mistakes..so what.
