March 2020 has arrived and while the snow continues to keep falling, the thought of putting on sunscreen and carving some slush in the sunshine is getting us excited! With 777 cm of snowfall to date, ski conditions are to be fantastic and there’s a bunch of great events you can enjoy in Fernie this spring.
Griz Days 2020
Every year in Fernie, visitors and locals alike praise the Griz with a huge winter festival, which will happen from March 5-8 this year. This year’s Griz Days Winter Festival will feature a host of special events to delight everyone big and small. Griz Days celebrates the legendary man called the Griz and all the wonderful snow he brings to the valley each winter.
One of our favorite events is the Dummy Downhill which occurs on Sunday afternoon. For the past three years, our staff has put an entry into the event and this year will be no different. Hopefully we can win the award for best crash again!
For more information on all of the Griz Days happenings, visit the Tourism Fernie website or the Griz Days Facebook page.
