    Is this true? Will Riverside go to a new owner? Any details?

    Bill failed to consult the current strata board with his intentions to finish out Miner’s Village as per the disclosure dated in 2001. The masterplan has three phases with a total of approx 55 homes. Bill had the idea to build different styled (and very ugly) chalets priced at a modest $500k. As he had intention to deviate from the development plan, people had to get the city and province involved to stop him.

    70-80% of Pinnacle Ridge purchasers are from the UK. There is a market in Fernie, but it has to be of quality.

    There is no doubt that Whistler is a great place. We cannot be bias when speaking about ski resorts. I love the skiing/riding at the top of Whistler and in the back country. The snow can be very wet at times and moguls seem to cover the entire mountain. But when the crowds are down and the snow is cold, it is pure magic.

    Fernie will make you giggle with excitement. Life is about going to different places, trying new things, and whatever makes you feel like a kid on Christmas Day. When it dumps in Fernie, it is that day. The entire resort is steep and near by are several other ski hills that offer variety. If you’re into hiking, well, it’s endless. The resort can offer untracked turns all day if you know where to go at what time.

    $400 month to share a room is attainable, there a jobs if you show for the job fair in Oct. If you are interested in spending the following summer, there are construction jobs that pay more than minimum wage. Faces will become familiar and crowds are restricted to powder days and holidays.

    It is a beautiful little town with great places to eat and enjoy a few beers.

    Hope this helps.
