    FLY FISHING INFERNIEBC FishFernie.com Photo credit: Mike McPhee Fly Fishing in Fernie Trout Town Historic coal mining towns, grizzly bears and burly Canadian wilderness are the setting through which the classic freestone Elk River flows. At 220-kilometres (140 miles) in length, the character of the river changes along its journey to Lake Koocanusa and meets up with several tributaries of equal charm and worth. The River Sourced from the Petain Glacier next to Mt Joffre on the British Columbia - Alberta border, the waters of the Elk River are filtered and clarified as they flow through the Elk Lakes north of Elkford, BC, resulting in Photo credit: Mike McPhee Photo credit: Mike McPhee a crystal clear waterway perfect for Trout. • From the town of Sparwood down, the river gains momentum and girth. From Sparwood to “Gerrits”, the river is known for big greedy Cutthroat, long boulder sections, countless riffles and deep corner holes. N To Island Lake Lodge • From Gerrits to the hamlet of Hosmer is drift-boat heaven. Hosmer also as a boat launch – a good place to start or finish a day. Dogwood Park Boat Launch • Hosmer down to Fernie offers braided sections and some big logjams with magical views of the Lizard Range. Buckets and holes are ripe for the casting on this stretch. In the heart of Fernie is a boat launch Mount Fernie at Dogwood Park with ample parking, a public washroom and space for multiple boats.

    MAKING MEANING OUT OF MOUNTAINS: SKIING, THE ENVIRONMENT AND ECO-POLITICS by MARK CHRISTOPHER JOHN STODDART M.A., University of Victoria, 2004 B.A., Athabasca University, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2008 © Mark Christopher John Stoddart 2008 ii Abstract This research provides a sociological analysis of skiing as a form of outdoor recreation and nature tourism in British Columbia, Canada. A qualitative multi-method approach is used, combining discourse analysis, interviews with skiers, and unobtrusive field observation at Whistler Blackcomb and Whitewater ski resorts. Through a focus on discourse, embodied interactions among humans and non-humans, and flows of power, this research describes an environmental ambiguity at the centre of skiing. There is a tension between interpretations of skiing as an environmentally-sustainable practice and notions of skiing as an environmental and social problem. Skiing is based on the symbolic consumption of nature and is understood by many participants as a way of entering into a meaningful relationship with the non-human environment. However, interpretations of skiing as a non-consumptive use of non-human nature are too simple. Social movement groups disrupt pro-environmental discourses of skiing by challenging the sport’s ecological and social legitimacy. Many skiers also articulate a self- reflexive environmental critique of their sport. In these instances, skiing is brought into the realm of politics. Recreational forms of interaction with the non-human environment tend to be at the periphery of environmental sociology.
