THE PLACE TO STAY IN FERNIE
We are stoked to have recently purchased a 42 bedroom lodge in the centre of Fernie. The lodge, which underwent a $1.2 million refurbishment through the summer of 2007, has a comfortable welcoming atmosphere with numerous social spaces and fantastic facilities. As the owners of our own accommodation and restaurant you can be confident that NONSTOP Snowboard is the only snowboard company to not only offer first class snowboard coaching but also great accommodation, meals and recreational facilities.
BEDROOMS
The lodge has spacious bedrooms each with brand new modern furnishing, queen size beds and ensuite bathrooms. Each bedroom has stunning views of the local mountains and some have private balconies. There are a variety of bedroom configurations: the majority of rooms are twin rooms (two double beds), some are triples (three single beds) and a select few are quads (two bunk beds).
SITTING ROOMS
We wanted to ensure there are plenty of communal social spaces in the lodge where our clients can meet and socialise, chill out playing cards or watch a DVD. There are communal sitting rooms spread throughout the lodge each of which has:
Comfortable sofas and armchairs
Cable TV & DVD player
Wireless internet
Dinning table and chairs
SWIMMING POOL & HOT TUB
Yep, that’s right…the lodge has its own indoor swimming pool and spacious hot tub. So after a hard day riding powder you can loosen your muscles with a few lengths of the pool and a sociable soak in the hot tub.
RESTAURANT & LOUNGE
The lodge also has its own 100 seat restaurant and bar. We have designed this space with a really comfortable homey feel so that it becomes as popular a space to read, play cards and socialise as it is for eating. With a wood burning stove, plenty of comfortable sofas, dining tables, a well stocked bar and fantastic food this is the heart of the lodge. The restaurant is open to the public and serves dinner and breakfast for all our course participants. Dinners are three course meals with a soup or salad starter, a hearty healthy main course and a tasty dessert. Breakfast is a continental buffet after which our buses take you to up to the resort (7 min drive) for another day on the snow. We are confident that our Fernie restaurant will quickly become know as one of the best restaurants in Fernie One of the main reasons we purchased the lodge was to take control of the meals we include in our course. With a team of professional chefs, who get to know our course participants, we now have the capability to offer consistently fantastic meals - in a warm and homely atmosphere.
INTERNET ACCESS
Our aim is that your course in Fernie is one of, if not the, best times of your life. But however much fun you’re having it’s still important to keep in touch with friends and family back home. And how could you survive with out a regular session on Facebook. Our internet area has computer stations and a high speed internet connection.
MOVIE THEATRE
Films are good - especially after a hard days exercise on the mountain. We have therefore dedicated a whole room for watching movies. With a widescreen plasma screen and rows of comfortable chairs this is the place to sit back, unwind and enjoy an evening in with a good film.
KITCHEN FACILITIES
Although the food served in the Lodge restaurant is both delicious and filling we recognise that at the weekends a few of our guests may want to cook for themselves. Additionally those wanting to save some money might prefer to make a pack lunches rather than eat at the restaurants on the mountain. We have therefore installed a well equipped kitchen dedicated for your use. This room has proven to be another popular space in the lodge where people can socialise.
SNOWBOARD TUNING ROOM
If you want high performance it’s important to keep your board in good shape. We have a room dedicated to tuning your snowboard with tools and supplies for waxing, edge sharpening and gouge repair. Each of our courses includes a training session on how to tune your gear so you get the most out of your snowboard. Although we have a large locker room at the base of the mountain this room also has storage lockers for when you bring your snowboard home.
MESS ROOM
It’s good to have a few beers sometimes but it’s not cool to disturb the peace - especially the night before a powder day. Have you ever come back from the pub and thought that you were whispering and quietly tip-toeing around the house, only to find out the next morning that you were shouting and crashing around? Our mess room is away from the lodge bedrooms so those that want an early night won’t get disturbed. With a table tennis table, table football, sofas, tables and chairs it’s designed for when you’ve had a late evening at the bar and aren’t yet ready to hit the hay.
