  • Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003
    Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003 Welcome to Snow Pass. This is the first GMC to be held at this location, and as far as we can ascertain, you are only the second group to have ever camped amongst this group of lakes. Many GMC’s are situated in valleys; however, this site is unusual as you are on the Continental Divide at an E-W “pass” between the Sullivan and Athabasca rivers, this is the arbitrary division between the Columbia Icefield to the south and the Chaba/Clemenceau Icefields to the north. But, you are also at a N-S pass between the Wales and “Watershed” glaciers, so you are at a “four way intersection” and from Base Camp you can access seven (7) different glacier systems. An intriguing local feature is the snout of the “Watershed” glacier, which actually divides so that it flows both west to join the Wales Glacier and thus drains to the Pacific and also turns east and feeds to the Arctic, which is why it is called the “Watershed” Glacier. In 2003, it may not be too obvious why in 1919 the Alberta/British Columbia Interprovincial Survey called this location “Snow Pass” but in the 1930’s (and even ? the early 1950’s) your Base Camp was still completely ice covered! There was permanent ice/snow from the “Aqueduct” to the “Watershed” to the “Toronto” Glaciers, an area of snow 5 km E-W and 10km N-S. Thus, in 1919, it really was a “snow pass”. See the appended “deglaciation” map. There is a wonderful photograph taken from the summit of Sundial peak in 1919 in the A/BC Volume, p.

  • Small Town Charm. Big Mountain Adventure
    P.O. Box 1928 542B 2nd Avenue Fernie, BC V0B 1M0 www.tourismfernie.com [email protected] Small Town Charm. Big Mountain Adventure. Fernie offers a real, small-town experience with big Canadian Rocky Mountain adventures, while never losing sight of its enduring history. About Fernie, Facts & Story Ideas Some details to help start a great story about Fernie. Visit tourismfernie.com for details or contact us directly! Fernie Blog – click here What’s New – click here About Fernie From the jagged peaks of the Lizard Range to the unique caricature of Mount Hosmer, the mountains surrounding Fernie offer a sharp contrast to the quaint coal mining and ski town that sits at the base of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Located in south-eastern British Columbia, Canada. It is the only city in BC completely encircled by the Canadian Rockies. Fernie’s year-round population is approximately 4,300 but sees a surge in population in both the winter and summer months of tourists, seasonal staff and long-term visitors due to the multitude of activities available. Visitors to the area are pleasantly surprised at the many experiences, great restaurants, unique stores and things to do in Fernie given its size. Founded in 1898, Fernie was officially incorporated as a municipality in 1904. The economy was built on extraction of the Elk Valley’s plentiful natural resources - coal and forestry. The Coal Creek mine was officially opened late in 1897, the railway followed in 1898, and Fernie came to life. In 1963, the original ski hill, called Fernie Snow Valley, opened.
