What began as a joke to show off the ski-friendly lifestyle of B.C. soon morphed into a mission for Fernie local Jay Carter to go skiing every single day of the 2021-2022 ski season B次元官网网址 and that mission is almost accomplished.

B次元官网网址淚 started on the ski hill in December, and so far IB次元官网网址檝e skied every day of the season,B次元官网网址 said Carter, who owns and operates the GuideB次元官网网址檚 Hut in downtown Fernie.

The motivation to log at least one turn every single day for Fernie Alpine ResortB次元官网网址檚 127-day winter season was an injury a few winters ago, and the pandemicB次元官网网址檚 dampener on the seasons since.

B次元官网网址淚t really cramped my style,B次元官网网址 he said. So really heB次元官网网址檚 just making up lost time.

B次元官网网址淚t began as a joke aimed at encouraging friends from Ontario to sell everything they had and move to B.C. where you can go skiing every day of winter, and it became a thing sometime over winter.B次元官网网址

Not every day is an expedition on the mountain, with many days consisting of a few quick runs down from Bear Chair when the hill opens at 9am, but that doesnB次元官网网址檛 stop him. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 still out on the hill.B次元官网网址

B次元官网网址淚 know I can get up Bear, do two laps, and still be here at 10 to open the store.B次元官网网址

With only 10 days to go to the last day of the season (Apr. 17), Carter said heB次元官网网址檚 feeling pretty good about reaching the finish line.

B次元官网网址淚 donB次元官网网址檛 see any reason that itB次元官网网址檚 not going to happen.B次元官网网址

Carter said the season had been great so far, but that comes from his grateful attitude towards any skiing at all.

B次元官网网址淗ow do you complain about skiing, itB次元官网网址檚 the greatest thing in the world.B次元官网网址

Asked whether skiing every day of every season would become a regular B次元官网网址榯hingB次元官网网址, Carter said B次元官网网址渋t remains to be seen.B次元官网网址
