Avalanches

Fernie Alpine Resort is a mountain with some very steep terrain. Snow storms deposit huge amounts of fresh snow on the Lizard Ridge. Avalanche conditions within the ski area can become extreme. During hazardous periods, areas within the ski area are closed until avalanche control work is complete work is complete and the skiing is safe. Be aware of closures and stay out of closed areas so that avalanche control teams can do their work. Lift pass suspensions may result.

OUT OF BOUNDS SKIING

The Lizard Mountains surrounding Fernie Alpine Resort offer exciting and challenging terrain to the experienced traveler. There is a real danger of avalanches outside the ski boundaries. Skiers must be prepared to travel on their terms, there is no avalanche control or ski patrol rescue. The slopes are steep and the snow deep, traveling outside the boundary is recommended only for those people experienced and equipped to deal with serious avalanche dangers.
