New Lift for Fernie Alpine Resort?

Rumours rumours rumours. There's big rumours in Fernie these days. Enough to set off any freerider's seismometer. What's at stake is a possible, and what appears to be a most likely, capital improvement at Fernie Alpine Resort that would put a new lift to the top of Polar Peak. Yes, it's almost true, that the long awaited and much philosophized about addition, that would shuttle intermediate and advanced riders to the top of the majestic peak at Fernie could potentially be happening. Now, let's be 100% clear. In absolutely NO way has official word from RCR been announced. Officially, this new lift is nothing more than towers being stored in a parking lot for a local business that needed the space. Apparently, these towers are headed to Dawson Creek, but there also happens to be some suspicious looking machinery in the parking lot. This is the kind of equipment that would be required to build a new lift. So far, RCR is in no way acknowledging that a new lift may be being built. That makes this story nothing more than a rumour about something that may or may not be true. However, unofficially, the word on the street is that the big change is coming and as long as they can get the necessary road built (which you can potentially see from town already ) and the many other infrastructures secured, it's going to happen. That makes this rumour, what seems already to be, the worst kept secret in Fernie.
