Overview
Fernie Alpine is known for its awesome powder and cool, laid-back atmosphere. The trails here are diverse, so whether you're cruising or looking for something more intense, you'll be happy. The scenery around the resort is pretty epic – mountains as far as the eye can see. The village at the base has a nice, small-town feel, with some good spots to eat and relax. The resort is a bit more low-key, so it's nice for those who want to avoid the super busy spots. Plus, the ski community here is really welcoming.

Fernie alpine resort is a great resort with varied terrain and no lineups.
It gets a lot of snow in February/ March
On hill dining is limited but Cirque at lizard creek lodge is on point.
Very chill vibe

Fernie was amazing this year; genuinely one of the better places I have skied in a while and would definitely go back. The uplifts are quick and easy, ski and boot rental was cheap and all the staff everywhere (restaurants, chairlifts, rentals, hotel) were lovely.

Traveled from the U.K. to ski here and it did not disappoint. Most days had 10-50 cm of fresh snow fall overnight. The Griz ( the locals snow god) really delivered! Incredible skiing in fluffy light snow most days!

There is something for everyone at Fernie. What I like best is that skier / boarders of all levels can enjoy the hill together as the terrain is varied across all 5 bowls. And the snow is fantastic! Always something fun to explore at Fernie!!

Fernie is an incredibly friendly resort with such a variety of terrains to ski on for all levels. It has some delicious places to eat and the slopes are always quiet even on major holidays.

If you luck out and get both a powder day as well as Polar Peak being open, it's a 5 star resort.
Lots of space and terrain variety to make things fun for everyone.
Fernie is a great little ski town.

It was awesome! I had a great time, the snow is amazing and the terrain is very challenging. The views are so good and the après ski is a lot of fun!

Amazing tree runs and bowl skiing. Really underwhelming groomers. Excellent chutes/steeps to ski. Polar peak is a must for any expert skiier to try. Fast lifts with very few lineups.
