Fernie Alpine Resort has a great terrain park, sadly lacking in one very necessary feature; a lift. The current park circuit takes around one hour to complete, as it involves the following journey:
1. An ascent of the Timber Chairlift.
2. A descent to the White Pass Chairlift.
3. An ascent of the White Pass Chairlift.
4. A flat traverse to the top of the terrain park.
5. A long exit from the park that includes the longest and flatest traverse on the entire hill.
6. A repeat of the above.
We petition RCR to make the park more convenient to use by placing a draglift within it. A rope tow would be good enough for this purpose.

A park with a lift would make a huge selling point for RCR

Yes, please. More photographers would come and shoot in Fernie if the park was convenient for sure!

As the head freestyle coach here for Fernie Alpine Resort, i sometimes feel a somewat ''pain/anguish'' when i take my grommets through the park, i know that when they hike their first 3-4 hikes of just one kicker, they are almost done for the day. These kids are our future in park riding and asking them to run there little legs up and down, they are going to get over it real quick. im not even really asking for a lift, even a rope tow or magic carpet would help the situation. Thanks to james for setting this up. Respect.
