The Lost Boys Café at Fernie is the resort’s newest on-mountain addition for the 2006-2007 ski season.
Located at the top of the Timber Express Quad Chair, the Lost Boys Café will provide skiers and riders a beautiful setting in which to satisfy their appetites. The 1080 square foot building is an alpine-themed timber and stone structure. Many of the timber logs used in construction have come from the run grooming and glading projects that occurred this summer to further enhance the resort’s 107 runs and glades.
The Café will serve hot baked potatoes with traditional and exotic toppings, fresh baked goods, Starbucks espresso coffees, and will be licensed to serve Kokanee draft beer and a fine wine selection. The wraparound deck will provide spectacular views of the White Pass, Elk Valley and the town of Fernie.
The café’s interior plans include seating for 60 people inside, with additional seating on the deck outside. In addition to the café, skiers and riders can look forward to the addition of warm bathroom facilities at the top of the Timber Chair.
The Lost Boys Café is named after the pass of the same name that sits outside of the current ski area boundary above Siberia Bowl. It was originally named after a couple of young local boys who went backcountry touring through the Pass and were lost and subsequently rescued in the area before the resort was expanded to that side. Many backcountry skiers have followed in their footsteps, sure they could find their way back to the boundaries of the Resort before nightfall, but each year the ski patrol responds to missing backcountry skiers and riders that have been drawn into the trap of Lost Boys Pass and spent a night in the cold.
The café is expected to open in time for the season opening on December 9th.
