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.

Great resort for advanced skiers and boarders who are looking for powder/off piste & bouncing through the trees. Ive skied mainly in Europe otherwise and the piste skiing is really limited compared to the average alpine resort. Crazy expensive lift passes & poor selection of food, albeit I am comparing to Europe, Im told this is fairly typical for North America

Great offpiste. Tricky for beginners and some big cat tracks for the snow boarders to watch out for.
Be careful of out of bounds.
