Just over two weeks left to enter the FTA Winter R

Just over two weeks left to enter the FTA Winter Raffle raising funds for the trails. Thanks to @theguideshut , you could win a new set of snowshoes and extendable poles!

Tickets are $20. Other prizes include a Norco Fat Bike, $500 towards a new Nordic Ski setup, and a winter running package!

While the FTA does receive grants, they’re typically earmarked for building new trails, not for the day-to-day maintenance that keeps the network safe, fun, and rideable year after year. All proceeds from the raffle go directly to funding trail maintenance. Thank you for your support 💚

STOMP the TRAILS every Wednesday through the winter at 6:30pm.

The location will change each week, depending on conditions and grooming. Snacks and drinks are provided. We have some extra snowshoes to borrow if needed. Last week we had a crew of 6 stomp Stove and Hedonism, while also clearing blowdown and trimming bushes!

This week we’re stomping Phat B and Blue Betty. Meet at the Phat B parking lot for 6:30pm.

Winter Trail Etiquette Reminders ❄️⛷️🐕💩

Local non-profits and volunteer groomers maintain our groomed trails in Fernie. After a fresh snowfall, the surface can be soft and easily damaged. Ruts and holes negatively impact the experience for other users and also create extra work for the volunteer groomers.

Please tread lightly and help keep our winter trails in great shape for all to enjoy 😊

Thank you from the Winter Grooming Colloaborative

There’s still time to share your thoughts to help

There’s still time to share your thoughts to help shape the future of Fernie’s trails!

Trail user feedback is essential as we plan for another season and continue long-term development of the trail network.

This short survey (about 10 minutes) is your opportunity to share input on summer and winter trail use, as well as the Dirt Jump and Skills Park. Your feedback helps guide future projects, priorities, and improvements.

Please share this survey with your fellow trail users. The more voices we hear, the better we can represent our entire community.

Complete the survey by the end of December for a chance to win a $100 gift card to a local business of your choice!

The Volunteer Appreciation Party is always a special reminder of something we say often but can never say enough: the Fernie Trails Alliance simply wouldn’t exist without the incredible community members who give their time, energy, and heart to the trails.

🏆 2025 Silver Rake – Work Party Volunteer of the Year: Omer Miller

🏆 2025 Youth Volunteer of the Year (New Award!): Ollie Turneau

🏆 2025 Golden Boot – Hiking Trail Volunteer of the Year: Duncan Maisels

🏆 2025 Silver Hammer – Trail Crew Member of the Year: Scott Gerecke

🏆 2025 “I’ll Do It” Golden Glove Volunteer Award: Becca Fahey

🏆 2025 Golden Saw Award: Stephen Brown

🏆 2025 Community Builder Award: Emily Fisher for leading Fernie Women on Wheels (and a huge shoutout to all the ride leaders who made it possible!)

To all our volunteers, award recipients and countless others, thank you for giving so much to the trails and to this community. If you see these folks out on the trails or around town, be sure to pass along a well-earned thank you 💚

We had an incredible session on Monday, bringing together passionate members of our trail community to explore one big question: What makes Fernie’s trails truly ✨Fernie✨?

Thank you to everyone who showed up and put their heart into helping us refresh our mission, vision, and values. These are the words that guide everything we do, and having our community involved in shaping them means so much. The people of Fernie are a huge part of why our trail network is what it is today.

We’re excited to take your insight and begin mapping out the path forward toward a unique, world-class trail network that stays true to Fernie’s character and values.

A big thank you to @parkplacelodge for hosting us, and to @dominosfernie for fuelling our brains (instead of our shovels this time!).
