Fernie Alpine Resort
|
|
|
Located in the Rocky Mountains of the British Columbia Rockies, Fernie Alpine Resort is offering some of the best skiing conditions in BC. Photographers regularly descend upon Fernie after a major snowfall to take those great magazine cover shots. Fernie is the fastest growing resort in Canada, and one of the top ten resorts in North America.
Thanks to its unique situation, Fernie Alpine Resort can take full advantage of the large snow fall that cascades over the resort every year. The craggy cleft of the Lizard Range above the ski area is often likened to an open catcher's mitt. The sheer limestone faces tower above the lifts of the ski area, trapping snow-laden storms and making Fernie a must-ski on British Columbia's powder circuit.
Fernie is known to have more expert terrain than the size of most ski areas. On average 348 inches (884 cm) of snow falls in Fernie each year, that is enough snow to cover a three-storey building. The variety of terrain at Fernie appeals to all levels. Fernie is as steep as you want it to be.
But Fernie Alpine Resort is not just something for downhill skiing and riding enthusiasts. The variety of day or evening activities include moonlight snowmobile tours, snowshoeing, dogsledding, sleigh rides with a cowboy dinner option, corss-country skiing and torchlight runs. The ski area rises about 3 miles (5 km) above the town of Fernie; you can see the massive bowls from Fernie's Main Street. Fernie is located on the Crowsnest Highway 3, in the extreme southeast corner of British Columbia, near the provincial border with Alberta and the Canada/USA border at Roosville.
The Rocky Mountain Sky Shuttle provides a round trip service 4 times per day from Calgary International Airport to Fernie Alpine Resort during skiing season. Private bus services, shuttles and taxi companies also run between Fernie and Cranbrook, Vancouver, Calgary, and other points in BC and Alberta.
