Fernie Alpine Resort has a well-deserved reputation for excellent snow conditions and spectacular scenery. Elephant and Mammoth Head provide massive rock backdrops to an extensive playground just waiting to be explored. Snow arrives at the end of November and stays well into April. Along with the defined trails, five alpine bowls offer plenty of tree skiing/boarding to test skills. Experts can glide through the glades, drop off ridges, check out chutes or make first tracks in the powder. The Cedar and Lizard Bowls offer terrain that may entice intermediates to try off-piste and glades. The lower mountain is ideal for beginners, with wide open slopes and winding trails. Snowboarders can test the all-terrain park, attack the half pipe and ride the many natural gullies.

Had to ski Fernie Alpine Resort after reading some recent forums. So made drive up from the states. Fernie Alpine Resort delivered- we had a classic weekend of new snow, band at the base area playing classic AC/DC tunes (can't even remember there name- real retro....) and lots of great people. Felt right at home. Stayed on mountain in a budget motel (no frills) and we skied our brains out - checking out all of the ridge lines and the chutes off each side. We found huge terrain here! it would take a long time to explore it all! Lots of fun! We are for sure going back
I visted Fernie on a road trip in 2007 & also did a Trip Report with more information on my experience.
Fernie is a good-sized destination resort with a base elevation of 3.500’ & tops out at 6,316’ for a vertical of 2,816’ & 2,504 acres. They have 10 lifts including 2 detachables. The skiing is a nice variety of groomed cruisers, tight steep trees & big wide-open bowls, with a few steep chutes thrown in. There is a lot of skiing here, although some of the lifts are of the old and slow variety. Nice lodges & slopeside lodging. The town is only a short distance from the mountain.
