Yet another powder day!
Once again, today was another day of riding perfect Fernie powder. Our 11-week instructor course participants have been in Fernie for less than a week and it’s hardly stopped snowing. I think they’re pretty happy with their choice of where to spend the season!

Split-boarding with snowmobile access
Yesterday I went snowboard touring/snowmobiling with some friends (who also happen to instruct for NONSTOP Snowboard). We drove out to Harvey’s Pass, fired up the sleds and drove for about 20 minutes until snowmobile power had to be replaced by leg ache. Actually touring with split boards is A LOT less tiring than snowshoes so Ryan, Jay, Ben and I quickly left Aubrey way behind panting his way through the deep powder on an old pair of snowshoes. We did two climbs to the top and enjoyed what was without doubt the best powder turns of my season. Deep (and I mean bottomless deep), light and steep. It had it all.
We even found a nice cliff to drop which felt good. This is Aubrey…
Ryan charged this opening so quickly that the spray of snow was left in the air for what seemed like minutes…
Here’s my ‘NONSTOP’ split board…
And this is us ’skining’ up hill…

Fernie Has Most Snow In Canadian Rockies
With a stunning 225cm (90 inch) snowpack, Fernie Alpine Resort has the most snow of any ski resort in the Canadian Rockies. The ski resort has received 440cm (almost 15 feet) of snow so far this winter, with 66cm (26 inches) in the past 7 days.
