Introduction
Fernie boasts an impressive snow record and has built a worldwide reputation as one of the planet's best spots for ‘steep and deep' terrain. But for all ability levels, this resort is a good bet if you're looking for powder and small-town Canadian charm.
The skiing is based a few kilometres from Fernie itself and a purpose-built slopeside village has grown over the past decade. Visitors can base themselves in either - the town has more character, but staying in the resort avoids the daily drive up to the mountain.
