Fernie Goes To Moab
With the ski hill closing and Fernie trails still under the snow, what could be better than loading up the bikes and going on a road trip to Moab Utah. That is exactly what we did last week, as a matter of fact it seems like half of the mt. bike crowd in Fernie did. […]
Big Steep Mother and Beyond
We’ve been doing lots of ski touring this season, but just haven’t taken the time to take many pictures and write any posts.

A Cabin Crisis: The Economy of Toilet Paper views: 554
Deep in the heart of the Fernie backcountry, at the legendary Thunder Meadows, Tunnel Creek, and Harvey Pass cabins, a shadowy barter economy thrives. No, it’s not trading trail mix for dry socks or a thermos of coffee for a warm seat by the fire. It’s something far more primal: toilet paper. Yes, in the […]
