Ahead of his visit to Fernie Alpine Resort on December 23rd and 24th, Santa has sent a special helper, “Polar” the Bear, to keep an eye on everyone at the resort.

Polar will be hanging out at the bottom of a chairlift each day from December 19-22. Each night Polar will travel back to the North Pole and report back to Santa about all the snowy adventures people are having at Fernie Alpine Resort and come back to a different chair lift each morning.

Clues to where Polar is will be posted each day. Find Polar, take a photo, and enter to win a prize!

Special Rules:

  • Upload your photo online – The form will be posted on skifernie.com
  • 1 photo per person per day. The more days you find Polar, the more chances you have to win a prize
  • Get a bonus draw prize entry by sharing your photo on social media by tagging Fernie Alpine Resort and using the hashtag #bearbythechairfernie
  • Polar will be hanging out at the chair during chairlift operating times (9am-4pm)
