2008 Season Snowfall
And the results are in! Anyone lucky enough to have visited Fernie last season knows it was an epic season but this graph clearly demonstrates quite how awesome it was! In fact Fernie, Whistler and Red Mountain all had fantastic seasons with enviable amounts of snow.
By the way, in case you’re reading this and are starting to feel apprehensive about the idea of skiing or snowboarding in that much powder, it’s worth rembering these two points:
- 1118cm doesn’t all fall at once! You won’t have to wade through unmanageable quantities of snow, but you will enjoy plenty of fresh snow that keeps the pistes soft and the skiing/riding varied and fun. It’s so much more enjoyable when you fall into soft snow rather than onto hard packed ice.
- Skiing or snowboarding at a resort with fresh powder and regular snowfall will improve your skills quicker than visiting a resort that relies on man made snow. If you’re skiing or riding soft snow you tend to be more confident and can explore steeper and more challenging terrain because the snow conditions are more forgiving. This definitely makes you improve quicker and therefore you’ll have more fun on the whole mountain rather than just the lower slopes.
So come and have a go and discover powder skiing at its best.
