Skiing and snowboarding were not the main events at Fernie Alpine Resort this afternoon. Kids, and grown-ups, left their skis and boards behind to enjoy the Griz Kidz Winter Carnival.
The plaza was packed with activities including face painting, balloon animals, crafts, games, and a bouncy tent. The festivities got started at 11 a.m. and the drizzly weather didn't seem to stop anyone from having a good time.
The fun will carry on into the evening with the Griz Kidz activity centre. With a different theme each week, the event takes place every Saturday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. and is open to kids ages 6 to 12. Please register in advance at Guest Services.
