Fernie Alpine Resort
Come and Experience the Legendary Snow
If one word can capture the magic that is Fernie, that word is snow! Known to receive one of the highest average snowfalls in British Columbia, Fernie is the ultimate ski destination for powder-lovers. The resort features five famous alpine bowls (Currie, Timber, Siberia, Lizard, and Cedar), which offer an unparalleled range of terrain and are excellent for taking full advantage of powder days.
Located in the Kootenays Range of the Canadian Rockies, Fernie is a classic, British Columbia mountain ski town, filled with local stories and legends. Founded as a coal-mining town in 1897, the original resort started operation in 1962 as 'Fernie Snow Valley', before purchased by the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (RCR) and re-named in 1997.
Today, Fernie Alpine Resort continues to be a hidden gem of the Powder Highway — a resort where you can still find smaller lift lines and plentiful trackless terrain. The resort receives up to 37 feet of natural snowfall per season, in addition to excellent snowmaking and grooming equipment. It offers visitors over 2,500 acres of terrain spread over 5 spectacular bowls, ridges, and glades.
"We have been arranging holidays through Skican for many years and appreciate its efforts and professionalism; we have always enjoyed the ski packages provided." - Michael M
