Fernie Alpine Resort

Beautiful resort, unlimited MTB trails & hiking trails for different levels. Highly recommend legends mountain eatery’s polar peak salad

Fernie has something for everyone - from beginner-friendly vibes all the way to shred dawg steeps - the whole family will love it here. The prices are super reasonable considering the accessible terrain and if you can’t find a skiff of powder where you’re shredding, there’s always a few turns to be had with a little boot pack hike.

I grew up in Fernie and watched this family owned ski business grow into a world class resort.
Regardless of your ability, you will have many parts of the mountain to explore. The hill has been built over three natural mountain bowls which provides stunning views from the top.
The runs that have been carved into the sides of these bowls provide steep and aggressive terrain for expert level skiers and boarders who want to shred the hill.
The centers of the bowls provide gentle slopes for those who come for a relaxing day enjoying moderate terrain with lots of tree runs.
Fernie is famous for its powder. Due to its location, the snow is dry and light and after a good dump will give you a powder day that you will never forget.
The resort is located low in the mountain so the lower runs are subject to warmer weather. It’s not uncommon to have melting snow and ice at the bottom with great conditions at the top.
There are hundreds of rental opportunities right on the hill including many ski-out lodges. There are re also large home that sleep multiple families available for rent.
The town of Fernie does not have many restaurants or places to enjoy night life for a resort of this size. This is the biggest negative to choosing this location over other options like Whitefish.

Being at a lower elevation, there tends to be issues with rain sometimes. However fernie is one of my favourites, i lived in the area for a few years and have taken several trips in the past. Its a must, great for beginners and advanced, has 4 bowls to play in and a chair to the peak. The town of fernie has lots of food and historical value.

Amazing diversity of ski terrain over five bowls. You can ski here all day and not ski the same piste twice. The people who come here to ski are cool and down-to-earth— not like many of the pretentiously pompous skiers you see at many "Epic" resorts. Fernie might very well be my new favourite ski place to ski!!
