It was an extremely cold day (-27C) when we set out from Fernie Alpine Resort but it felt good to get the body moving and the blood pumping. The cross country trails to the south of the resort meander through beautiful coniferous forests, where one can be at piece with the trees and the birds. Under painted with pink to capture the warmth brought by physical activity. The Skier is dwarfed by the magnificence of the trees, trees alive with hidden Chickadees
