Welcome to Fernie Ski Resort

  • Epic snowfall and legendary powder runs
  • Five dramatic bowls with terrain for all abilities
  • Charming old mining town with bags of character
If you're chasing deep snow, Fernie is your place. Tucked into the Lizard Range in Canada's British Columbia, this hidden gem gets some of North America's most reliable powder dumps - and the terrain to make the most of every flake.
Beginners can build confidence on the lower mountain's easy greens, while intermediates love the mellow blues of Lizard Bowl and long flowing runs off Polar Peak. Advanced skiers can go deep into Siberia and Timber bowls, or test their nerve on Fernie's notorious 40-degree chutes. Phew!
Back in town, Fernie delivers with timber-clad lodges, turn-of-the-century architecture, and a laid-back mountain vibe - this is Canadian skiing with real soul.
