Fernie 11 week instructor course – Week 8 blog
Below is the week 8 diary from our Fernie ski and snowboard instructor course, written by Dougie:
The start of week 8 coincided with Griz Day. This is an annual festival in Fernie to celebrate the Griz- an iconic mountain man who ensures the snow gods are appeased and Fernie full of powder. This year’s theme was “wake up the Griz” and the Fernie NONSTOP crew duly obliged by turning one of the buses into a mobile cuckoo clock. The Vuvuzelas, whistles and hair dye made sure we were one of the loudest and brightest floats in the parade. A notable mention should be made for our visitors from Banff for their sterling efforts to join in.

Wow…
Sometimes you get one of those great “wake up & smell the coffee” moments, when you realise how good life really is – rarely does it come at 6am on a cold and dark winter’s morning, sitting on an old yellow school bus…. but this week was different in a lot of ways. … Read more
