The Itinerary

The Elk Valley in the southern Rockies is one of Canada's best-kept secrets: abundant snow (875 cm/year), friendly resort towns and exceptional ski terrain.

Fernie Alpine Resort is legendary for its "Fernie Factor" powder. Fernie's heritage village (1898) keeps a western charm. In Cranbrook, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel displays golden-age CP cars. Fort Steele Heritage Town is a restored 1860s gold-rush town. In summer, golf, MTB and fishing on Lake Koocanusa.
