Fernie

Fernie is recognised for its steep and deep slopes and its extensive off-piste options and so as a consequence is a popular choice amongst stronger skiers and snowboarders. Fernie is one of the best resorts for enthusiastic skiers and snowboarders looking for new peaks to conquer and improve their already advanced ski and snowboarding skills. Fernie Alpine Village Resort offers doorstep skiing in the midst of the rugged peaks of the British Columbia’s Rockies, just four miles from downtown Fernie, a historic village with laid-back and friendly locals.

Fernie additionally has a reputation for excellent powder bowls, perfect snow records, lots of trees and has fewer crowds allowing you maximum skiing time. It’s a paradise for snowboarders too with high peaks, steep and deep terrain and spectacular scenery.

The opening of a lift to Polar Peak has provided Fernie with the biggest vertical in the Canadian Rockies (3550ft). The evening shuttle makes it easier to explore the lively restaurants, bars and shops both in the Alpine Village and in Fernie itself. Real powder hounds should even try the local snow-cat skiing!
