Featuring 2504 acres of stunning terrain and 5 alpine bowls, the mountain currently has fresh, untracked powder, and snow-dusted, machine-groomed runs. There’s something for everyone, from glades to deep powder to steeps to groomed cruisers.

“Without a doubt, Fernie is the best resort to ski in the Canadian Rockies right now,” says Matt Mosteller, Senior Director of Business Development, “Almost two storeys of snow have fallen on Fernie - Wherever you’re from, you would call it epic amounts of powder.”

The ski resort currently has a 263cm (104 inch) snow pack, creating a great skiing surface across the mountain. Fernie Alpine Resort receives an average of 875cm (29 feet) of snow per season.

Fernie Alpine Resort is hosting a number of Avalanche Awareness Days activities this weekend, including a transceiver demonstration, CARDA dog demonstration, kids’ scavenger hunt for transceivers and treats, avalauncher demo and live auction. For more details, please visit www.skifernie.com.
