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.

The current circuit through the terrain park remains inefficient for those hoping to focus on their riding rather than traversing across the mountain. I have received many messages from fellow skiers who agree that a dedicated lift would transform the experience for everyone on the hill. My next step is to prepare a formal proposal for management that highlights these persistent concerns.

The groundswell of agreement regarding the inefficiency of the current terrain park circuit is heartening. This momentum demonstrates that the need for a dedicated lift is a shared priority for the entire mountain community.

Waste of a perfectly good park if you ask me. nobody wants to spend an hour just to do one run through the rails.

The traverse is brutal on a snowboard. spent more time unstrapping and walking than actually riding. Needs a rope tow asap.
