 About Us

It has always been our dream to own a property such as BearPaw.  After many years of saving and looking for just the right place we settled on Fernie.  We have skied all over North America and I grew up in the town of Banff.  However, no where we have skied matches Fernie for snow, terrain, people and laid back lifesyle.  We love this place, please treat it with kindness.  We reside in the separate lower unit when the lodge is rented.  If there are any problems, questions or you are looking for information on the secret stashes of powder, just knock on the lower level outside door and we will help you out.

We look forward to you enjoying your stay.

Have a great holiday.
