Fernie Alpine provides visitors legendary powder, and much more. Fernie receives on average 29 feet (875cm) of snow each season, and attracts a wide range of skiers and riders from around the globe. Delivering over 2500 acres of skiable terrain, 107 runs, 5 alpine bowls, state of the art snowmaking and grooming equipment, and an exceptional beginner's area, Fernie is a true winter playground for skiers and riders for all levels.

Enjoy ski-in and ski-out convenience with a variety of accommodations on the mountain. Soak in your own private hot tub in a 5-star mountain chalet just a snowball's throw from the slopes, or watch the sunset over the mountain peaks from the balcony of your private condominium.

Fernie Alpine Resort sits above the legendary town of Fernie – a historical mining community with an unforgettable and eclectic personality. Visitors to Fernie always feel at home here and choose to come back again and again.

We invite you to come and discover what a great winter vacation to the Canadian Rockies is all about - huge alpine bowls, uncrowded trails, and incredible ski-in, ski-out accommodations. With a mild, but snowfall-heavy climate, the weather won't send many chills down your spine, but the scenery and incredible skiing will.

Fernie Alpine Resort located in Southeastern British Columbia is a hidden gem! We have been searching for an area that offers great terrain, deep snow and good vertical. Fernie is that place. Add in a real authentic Ski Town that is only 5 minutes away and ski in and ski out lodging on-mountain and the place can't be beat!
