Fernie ski area Management Says:
Known For Legendary Powder, Becoming Famous For So Much More. With 114 runs, 5 alpine bowls, 30 feet of powder, a ski-in/ski-out village and authentic ski town atmosphere, Fernie Alpine Resort delivers.
Push yourself to new heights, and discover big mountain skiing at its best. Legends are alive and well here. The Griz, Ghostrider, and Sasquatch all live here, and their legendary stories often told over a generous supply of glacier-fresh Kokanee beer.
Fernie
is serious about its snow, and there's lots of it. The town celebrates it with festivals, events and parties, and makes the most of it with skiing, snowboarding, sledding, snowshoeing safaris, dogsledding, cat-skiing, sleigh rides, and more.
Enjoy ski-in and
ski-out convenience. Fernie's mountain village will cater to every need. Soak in your own private hot tub in a 5-star mountain home hideaway just a snowball's throw from the slopes, or watch the sunset over the mountain peaks from the balcony of your private condominium or hotel suite.
