Fernie Alpine Resort Named North American Resort of the Year - 2004

The Good Skiing & Snowboarding Guide 2004 has voted Fernie Alpine Resort the North American Resort of the Year in the annual Golden Ski Awards for 2004.

The Golden Ski Awards are given in twelve categories including resorts, hotels, restaurants, etc. After nominating a Top 100, the readers vote and the finalists are judged by a small jury of ski industry experts.

"Fernie has joined the ranks of the top ski destinations in the world with this award," says Melody Kultgen, sales & public relations manager for the resort. She adds, "last year this award was given to Aspen and our European counterpart this year is St. Anton."

Fernie Alpine Resort has grown from a local ski hill to a year round, international destination resort since its purchase by Resorts of the Canadian Rockies in 1997. The resort has undergone many changes in the past six years and is continually striving to provide its guests with the best vacation and recreational experience possible.

Fernie Alpine Resort is located in southeastern British Columbia and is a division of Resorts of the Canadian Rockies Inc., owners and operators of Lake Louise Ski Area, Kimberley Alpine Resort/Trickle Creek Golf Resort, Nakiska, Fortress, Mont Sainte-Anne and Stoneham.
