Underexposed - Fernie

This Underexposed is dedicated to the memory of Abi Moore, to her family, and to everyone building their legacies through trails, community, and inclusivity.

"I have spent a lot of time over the years talking about how good bikes can be for the world, and Fernie is among the best examples of that I've ever seen. It's not just about how much fun it is to ride bikes in the woods, or the personal growth that comes from it. I truly believe that trails are a form of connective tissue for communities around the world. They connect us to the land, and quite honestly, to each other. It's a connection that can last a lifetime, and for those of us who make it a part of our lives, it can ultimately be a part of our legacy. I think too often we only bring up the idea of legacy after we lose someone near and dear to us, but my time in Fernie provided an opportunity to appreciate legacy in real time as well." - Brice Shirbach

There are also fantastic trail develpments in Sparwood, Elkford, Crowsnest Pass and Cranbrook. All within about 50 min of Fernie. The GDMB and tour divide routes down through the Elk Valley or BC bike trail heads west to the coast.

Patrick and Mel seem super down to earth. I think I have a new bucket list town and trail system to explore!

Live in Calgary, Alberta and have ridden in Fernie about 7 times in the last few years. I've also ridden at Crowsnest about 40-45 minutes away. I haven't done anything in Elk Valley yet, though I've dirt biked there years ago.

Love this area year round. It has changed over the last few years. Locals are awesome!

I’m here right now from Whistler. I love how quiet it is here compared to Whistler and the residents are really friendly. Much more of a small town vibe. We have a place here too but we don’t come out often enough. Winter is great too with the Nordic centre only a 5 minute walk from our house.

Moving back to Spokane WA, planning to make my way up north often to ride...this town looks amazing. Little scared of bears since I do ride alone.
