Map & Owner's Profile
Luxury Timber Frame Chalet, Fernie Alpine Resort, Ski in/Out
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Fernie
We didn't just buy in this location, we built Kimbers Timbers. Fernie and Fernie Alpine Resort are special mountain places.
The Unique Benefits at this Timber Frame Home
The best access to the ski hill is right out the front or back door of our chalet. When the ski season ends we have the mountain to ourselves and the wildlife! Summertime is so green and pretty.
Owner's Map of Fernie
We are CaliFernians, ie. Calgarians that commute to Fernie for recreation in the mountains. In the 80's we lived in Canmore (near Banff), but even then we usually travelled to Fernie on winter weekends to enjoy the powder skiing. In 2000 to 2004 (yes it took a long time to build!) we built Kimbers Timbers. We have 3 teenagers who also enjoy skiing and hiking. Fernie is a great get away from the city.
