Fernie Alpine Resort hosts Fernival and Spirit of the West

Monday, 20 April 2009 18:07 by matt

Fernival Fever Forever! A big 'thank you' to all of our guests for skiing and riding with us this winter! Fernival a salute to our guests, our staff and to the Fernie community and Elk Valley. We look forward to skiing with you in 2009/10!

The 1st Annual Fernival spring event at Fernie Alpine Resort was an absolute blast! Spirit of the West rocked the house while the beautiful sunshine and warm temps made it an epic day to enjoy both the amazing plaza atmosphere and the fantastic spring conditions on the mountain.  The Fernival Fever was catchy as the wave of joy took over the entire resort with lots of crazy costumes and retro ski outfits everywhere and wacky antics happening such as the 501 Frozen Jeans and T-shirt dress-up challenge and the 2 minute workout inspired by the amazing Glacier Girls.  Fuel radio and our live DJ kept the up-beat vibe going all day leading up to the awesome live performance from Spirit of the West that got everyone tapping their feet, clapping their hands and jivin' to their beats.  We send a big shout out to the event sponsors----- Volkswagen, Kokanee, Appleton Rum, Coca-Cola and Downhill Riders.



 
VW graffiti artists did not get a rest as they were busy all day creating fun art for all!
