For those that know Anne and I, we love our 4 wheel drives. Wouldn't be in anything else. Using it to actually go driving in a forest, utilizing the properties of a 4 wheel drive is, however, foreign to us. This is until now! With the help of Ian, we took the Jeep up into one of the many trails around Fernie, and got the truck muddy. Ian shared with me the subtleties of 4WDing and showed us some spectacular scenery...... read more

Finally arrived in Calgary after a long flight. Pretty beat, just like any other 20 hour flight.

Ski destinations don't really get more renowned than the expansive Canadian resorts, and Fernie had that 'criminally overlooked' feel about it, virtually as soon as you had reached the resort proper, and assessed the state of play, and the vast nature of the ski terrain. This time around, lodgings were in the shape of a catered chalet, with 2 friendly Australian chalet hosts, and an unreliable shuttle bus service which prompted us to rely more heavily on the legendary hospitality and accommodating nature of passing Canadian motorists with room in the back of the vehicle for you and your ski gear. Being a leisure skier and nothing more, I simply revelled in the option of gliding across luscious terrain where ski conditions were the best I had ever experienced, and the routes were clearly marked, until ... read more
