Join us for the 48th annual Griz Days!
Griz Days is a multi-day festival of fun-filled family-friendly events, activities, fundraising and entertainment. It is traditionally Fernie's biggest event, embracing the entire community and surrounding area.
Griz Days celebrates our community’s winter heritage and historical traditions, while paying tribute to the mythical creature the Griz – who lives in the Lizard Range and shoots powder snow from his musket.
A highlight of Fernie’s winter Griz Festival! Strictly for fun!
This competition features imaginative & hilarious “dummies” on skis launching themselves off a gigantic jump beside the Timber Chair.
The dummies can be created from various materials, and creativity is stressed. They are judged on their construction, creativity, theme, the distance they fly off the jump and the carnage factor when they land.
Prizes are awarded for the best construction, theme/name, disintegration, flight, and more!
