Griz Days welcomes visitors and locals to the biggest, snowiest party of the year!
The spirit of the mountain man, the Griz himself, is at the very heart of Fernie’s 43rd celebration — “The Spirit of Griz Days”. A time to pay homage to the powder king of the Lizard Range and the icon of the annual winter festival. Make sure to pick up your Griz Pin at locations around town for a chance to win $1,000!
