Winter Adventures
Fernie Alpine Resort.
Situated on the Powder Highway ®, Fernie Alpine Resort benefits from the best of the northwest weather effect known locally as the‘ Fernie Factor.’
The encircling mountains create a microclimate – bringing wave after wave of fresh white powder snow and turning each day into a thrilling new adventure of ever-changing vistas and discoveries.
An average of over 30 feet / 9 metres of snow per season and 145 run for all abilities would be enough to keep most skiers and riders happy; add to this high-speed quads with virtually no lift lines, five alpine bowls, extensive gladed terrain, plus the joy of skiing without the need to acclimatize, and you may just think you’ ve hit the winter jackpot.
