Fernie & Elk Valley Culture Guide Issue 3 Winter 2016 | Page 32

THE GRIZ The face of The Griz looms over Fernie as part of Griz Peak in the Lizard Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Griz is a Fernie legend of a fabled mountain man born in a cave who shoots his musket into the clouds to bring down the famous Fernie powder snow. These mountains define our culture and our stories. #ferniestoke tourismfernie.com | ferniestoke.com #ferniestoke
