Canada - Ski Fernie
SNOW is the one word that captures the magic at Fernie. Located in the British Columbia Rockies, Fernie Alpine Resort is the ski destination that powder-lovers dream of, with an average annual snowfall of 29ft! The snowfall has long been attributed to the lore and legend of “The Griz”, a legendary, fur-clad character patrolling the peaks, toting a musket that he uses to fire into the clouds, generating Fernie’s signature snowfalls.
There is limitless terrain with 2,504 acres spread over 5 spectacular open bowls, ridges and glades. There is endless adventure on this mountain. Serviced by 10 lifts, this varied terrain creates a true mountain playground that appeals to skiers and riders of all ages and abilities. Make sure to join one of the daily complimentary tours of the mountain, guided by locals who aren’t afraid to share their secret stashes with visitors.
On-mountain facilities include café, restaurants, lounges, bars, grocery and shopping outlets. The charming historical town of Fernie, with turn of the century architecture is only minutes from the base of the ski area, providing a variety of restaurants and shops to enjoy.
