WAPITI

Wapiti- thats a word you are going to be hearing a lot of in the new year. (Fernie's new Music Fest in Annex Park Aug 13-14 is called WAPITI)) anyway, I shall touch on that hype later, but for now Ill just mention that the Wapiti Ski Hil in Elkford is open, its free day this Jan 1st

Wapiti Ski Hill Breakdown:
7 ski runs over a 1,000 foot vertical drop include both beginner and expert runs.

Operated by the volunteer Wapiti Ski Club, including a fully trained volunteer ski patrol, a day lodge and concession, equipment rentals, and a ski school.

Offers free skiing to children under 6 years of age and those over 60 years of age.

Provides a very affordable, family-oriented alternative to large commercial ski resorts like Fernie (located less than an hour away).

Hours of Operation: lighting on the two main runs makes night skiing possible Tuesday through Friday from 7pm to 9:30pm. All runs are open for daytime skiing on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.
