The “old side” of Fernie Alpine Resort was closed Sunday morning after extreme winds overnight caused major damage to power lines and poles.
Trees were blown over at different areas at the resort, leaving the Bear, Boom and Elk chairs without power.
“We had winds like I have never seen before at Fernie Alpine Resort,” said Matt Mosteller, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at FAR.
