The main issue with Fernie is that RCR has more or less given up, (think abandoned Fortress Mtn) The lack of summer grooming and winter grooming is so frustrating. I am tired of their excuses that there is too much terrain to summer groom. Come on, Heiko used to get it done. They are just too cheap to spend the money. If they summer groomed we would only need 1/2 as much snow to ski the favorite runs like Boom Bowl, Easter, etc. I don't care about a new lodge and have given up hope of any other amenities. They could at least take care of the area. On top of that the winter grooming is abysmal. If you can't ski powder you want to be able to zoom the groom. There is so little grooming (no budget for diesel I guess?) that your teeth rattle loose. Come on RCR, have some pride. Nice touch though on the $99 Propane Fire Pit at the old Bear's den!
