Fernie Ski Resort
Scoring up to 11m of snowfall each winter, Fernie is home to some of Canada’s most reliable powder and a network of excellent tree runs.
Located three hours south of Calgary, close to the US border, Fernie is a popular destination that is famed for its powder skiing. The mountain is divided into seven distinct zones, of which all (aside from the gentle slopes of the Lower Mountain) are home to excellent tree skiing and steeper terrain. The toughest challenges can be found in Currie Bowl and at Polar Peak – the latter is home to steep, above-treeline, double black diamond terrain.
When staying here, you have the chance to stay either in the valley town of Fernie around five miles to the north, where there is more choice of accommodation and dining options, or on the hill itself. Kimberley resort is around 90 minutes away and combining the two during one trip is a popular option.
