Griz the legendary Fernie giant is due to make an appearance at the resort in British Columbia shortly.

The giant cut-out of The Griz, complete with hole in face for photo taking,  just arrived at the resort so should be installed soon.

“We’re looking forward to seeing The Griz up and in action – kids of all ages will get a kick out of that.” said Fernie spokesperson Sarah Windsor.

The cut out is the latest Griz-themed object to appear in Fernie, two years ago he left his ski poles, believed to be the world’s longest at 25 feet, just lying in the snow.

The locals believe Griz is responsible for Fernie’s famed powder which clocks up to  29+ft of snowfall a season.

The resort has also built a giant traditional Inukshuk that shows their Canadian pride and spirit for their athletes.
