Have you noticed the Fernie Valley Pathway constru

Have you noticed the Fernie Valley Pathway construction has started! YAY!
-
This pathway connects the communities between Fernie and Fernie Alpine Resort. The trail will provide a continuous and safe pathway for families, commuters and recreational users that is separated from the busy Crowsnest Highway, linking Fernie’s extensive recreation sites and trail networks. The trail is master planned to connect to the existing Fernie Main Town Loop trail and will support the development of other planned collector trails from existing and future communities in the valley. This trail will have many positive effects on our community, including improved safety, encouraging healthy living, economic development, enhanced tourism value and attraction.
-
The project is being coordinated by the Fernie Trails Alliance (FTA). The FTA is partnering with the City of Fernie, The
Regional District of the East Kootenay (RDEK), BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), Columbia Basin
Trust (CBT), Fernie Alpine Resort (FAR), and Fernie Snow Valley Community Association (FSVCA).
-
Now we need to fundraise and get the last section built to fully connect to the ski hill. Who would like to be on the committee to help make this a reality? Please reach out!

Look what our amazing trail crew did to a bridge on Southern Comfort. They moved a massive heavy bridge, thanks @davegrichards for the winch! They also moved some big rocks, built some abutments, laid some cribbing and cut out some benching that felt like concrete this happened all over 3 days! Way to go crew! #poweringfernietrails @tourismfernie @ferniefix @ferniereport

FTA trail crew was busy removing deadfall today -

FTA trail crew was busy removing deadfall today - on Today’s Special, Hedonism, Mushroom Head, Mocassassin, Stumpy, and this monster at S-Bomb/Brokeback junction that tested the limits of the handsaws. Some volunteer already handled one on Gorby before we got there - thanks so much. If reporting deadfall it’s helpful to do a photo of the tree with a glove or something else for size perspective and a screenshot of the location on trailforks helps a lot too. Now get out and ride. @FernieMountainBikeClub @TourismFernie @FernieFix @StagLeapRunningCo @FernieReport

Singletracks6 is happening tomorrow! Come on out and cheer everyone on. This is the first time this event has been on since 2018 🥳

Notice that Single Track 6 will be running on FTA trails Tuesday Sept. 6 and Wednesday, Sept 7. All trails remain open to the public during the event but we ask that people please yield to racers if they cross paths during the event. Race starts at 8am and all riders should be through between 10 and 2pm.

On the 6th, racers will ride trails on Ridgemont, Montane, and Castle Mountain (specific FTA trails include Big Trouble Little Chain Ring, Kush 2, TR3, CDT, Space Unicorn, Hyper Vent, Today's Special, and Snoop Lion).

On the 7th, racers will ride trails at Fernie Alpine Resort and the South side of Mt. Fernie Provincial Park (specific FTA trails include Verboten, Sherwoody, Happy Gilmar, Black Forest, Old Goat and Gorby).

This is a great event with SingleTrack 6 giving back to both the FTA and CCHS. Please respect the riders, show out of town visitors some great Fernie hospitality, and cheer them on as they ride through! #poweringfernietrails #fta #ferniestoke
