The Fernie Frosty Four is a race, but it’s more than just about speed — it’s about having fun and celebrating the end of winter in true Fernie style! While there’s a competitive edge for those who want to push themselves, the emphasis is on enjoying the outdoors, challenging yourself, and embracing the spirit of the season. You can take on the entire race solo, testing your endurance across each stage, or our favourite option is to team up with friends, with each person tackling a different leg of the course.
