Re: Handshake Holdings is continuing preliminary construction work in accordance with the re- zoning of the Galloway Lands. Starting the week of September 3rd, construction will close all Fernie Alpine Resort access to the Galloway Lands. Please refer to the attached map for the new closure area.
All closures to the Galloway Loop from the Fernie Nordic Centre and Fernie Mountain Park trail’s also remain in effect.
“Construction – The Trails Are Closed” signs will be positioned on all trails leading to the construction area.
The new closures are at the following locations:
- FAR trails including; Hobbits Trail, Far Out Extension, Evil, Honey Bee, and Phat Larry’s
- Snow Pines Road / Boomerang Connector Galloway Lands entrance
- Boom Creek / Ski Hill Connector Galloway Lands entrance
All trails outside of the defined construction area remain open for non-motorized recreation.
“Private Property” signage has been installed at all access points to the property. These signs ask that people “Please Respect All Trail Closures” and provide a contact number to answer any questions regarding the property and the current status of the closures and the project.
We are working to minimize any disruptions to recreation and trail usage on the property and anticipate trails re-opening following construction activities for the season. Thank you for your assistance in communicating the construction closure areas through your membership channels.
Regards,
