So what's it like?
Experience the amazing powder bowls and uncrowded slopes
Fernie is a perfect ski area for all levels of skier or boarder and is renowned for its record snow levels and 'steep and deep' terrain. The uncrowded slopes make it an ideal environment for families and first timers, with the five huge alpine bowls and pristine powder keeping the more proficient skier entertained. An alpine resort at the base of the mountain provides a selection of bars, restaurants and shops, whilst the historic mining town of Fernie with its relaxed, laid back and friendly atmosphere is 5 kilometres from the ski area, connected by a regular bus service.
