If one word captures the magic of Fernie, it's snow. This hidden gem on British Columbia's Powder Highway receives up to 37 feet of natural snowfall per season—thanks to the legendary "Fernie Factor"—making it the ultimate destination for powder lovers.
Spread across five famous alpine bowls (Currie, Timber, Siberia, Lizard, and Cedar), Fernie delivers over 2,500 acres of terrain ranging from wide groomed cruisers to challenging double-black diamonds and some of the most extensive tree skiing in North America. Smaller lift lines mean more fresh tracks and less waiting.
Nestled in the dramatic Lizard Range of the Canadian Rockies, Fernie is a classic mountain town with a rich history dating back to its coal-mining roots in 1897. Today, it blends natural beauty, welcoming hospitality, and world-class skiing into an experience that keeps you discovering something new all season long.
This is Fernie—where towering peaks, untouched wilderness, and legendary snowfall create the mountain experience you've been searching for.
Skican regularly features specialty Ski Packages and Hosted Ski Escapes, however, we don't have any to show you right now. Make sure you check back soon - these unique, high demand ski vacations are released throughout the season and have limited availability.
