Fernie Detailed Description

Fernie Alpine Resort is a powder-packed dream turned into reality. Delivering what seems like a variety of endless terrain and vistas, Fernie is a true winter playground for skiers and riders of all levels. Enjoy the legendary powder, the traditional small town pubs crammed with ski bums and great on-hill accommodations where the lifts are only a snowball's throw away.

  • An average 29 feet of snow falls in Fernie each year. That is enough snow to cover a three-storey building.
  • Five enormous bowls; countless glades & chutes
  • Variety of terrain appeals to all levels. Fernie is as steep as you want it to be.

Fernie Alpine Resort is located in the southeast corner of the B.C. Rockies on Highway No.3 approximately 60 km (40 miles) from the Alberta and U.S. borders. It is 5 km (3 miles) from the City of Fernie and only 1.5km up the hill from the highway intersection.

Whether driving or taking the bus, the road to Fernie will lead you through some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world. The drive is easy with no major mountain passes and the roads are well maintained.

Your trip here is part of the Alpine Resort experience. Be alert and you'll see Big Horn Sheep, Elk, Moose and Deer as you venture into the heartland of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
