Mount Fernie

Mount Fernie rises directly northwest of the city whose name it shares, in the Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. That name belongs to William Fernie, who came through the Crowsnest Pass by pack trail in 1887 looking for coal and, two years later, found seam after seam along Coal Creek and the Elk River. By 1898 the townsite had been surveyed and named for him. Fernie's early years were hard: an explosion in 1902 killed 109 miners, fire levelled the downtown in 1904, and an even larger blaze swept through in 1908. The town rebuilt in brick and stone. When the province first made the mountain's name official in 1939 it was placed on the wrong summit, a slip corrected in 1959. At 2,210 m, it stands beside Mount Fernie Provincial Park.

Our solid hardwood cribbage boards are modeled with actual topographic data to capture any place on earth. Each board has a storage space for three sets of metal pegs behind a custom-etched stainless steel door. Boards measure roughly 350mm (13.5”) long by 190mm (7.5") wide by 90mm (3.5”) tall and are finished with tung oil for durability and a slight sheen. Additional options include a custom message or logo etched on the stainless steel door tag (32 characters max, +$10), and an engraved name, message or logo on the side or underside of the board (+$20 standard, +$40 with a contrasting filler). Side and underside engraving is sized to fit the board, typically no taller than 1 inch (25 mm). For a logo, send us a PNG through our contact form after you order, with your order number.

Our products are designed, crafted, and finished in Alberta, Canada.
