Après ski in Fernie

Many of Fernie's after skiing activities take place on snow and include various different ways of taking in the spectacular mountain scenery with the choice of various modes of transport. Fernie Wilderness Adventures have a 1,000 acre playground of private land with an almost non-existent avalance risk. Experienced guides will take you to places you would probably never find by yourself and where you can expect to see deer, moose, elk, rocky mountain bighorn sheep and possibly even the occasional wolf, coyote. lynx or bobcat. You could learn to mush your own sled with an introduction to the basics of handling a team of dogs. If you prefer a more relaxing option there are horse-drawn sleigh rides varying from a half hour trip to an entire evening with inclusive Cowboy Dinner. The Torchlight Run and BBQ involves taking the chair to mid-mountain where you can enjoy a burger and beverage around the fire at the Bear's Den and finishes off with a ski down the Elk Run by the light of your headlamp. A great way to pick up some skill building tips could be on a cross-country ski or snow shoe tour with an experienced guide who will very likely be a mine of information with lots of local knowledge. The Powderhorn Restaurant and Lounge has one of Fernie's largest outdoor patios and is the perfect place to unwind and relax by the fireside and enjoy a drink with friends after a day on the hill (children welcome too).
