Fernie Ski Holidays - Traditional Family resort

Renowned for its superb natural snow conditions the season at Fernie usually starts at the end of November and lasts well into April with an annual average snowfall of 8.75 metres thanks to the legendary Griz and his trusty musket. To this day the residents of Fernie pay tribute to the Griz by holding the annual Griz Festival as homage to their Powder King.

For the ultimate powder experience Fernie has its own First Tracks programme which involves an early start but is well worth it to make your own first tracks in the fresh powder. The lower mountain is a beginners delight and the runs are all well marked with return to base access so parents can relax while the kids are out enjoying themselves.

Last Minute Ski Holidays in Fernie - Great for all ages

There are 107 defined trails, five alpine bowls and acres of tree skiing/boarding to test your skills on. Experts are never bored gliding through the glades, dropping off ridges, checking out chutes or making first tracks in the powder. The Mini Moose and Mighty Moose lifts are the places for first-time skiers though for the ultimate confidence boost a lesson with the Winter Sports School is recommended to really get you cruising with style. Lessons are available in all disciplines from alpine to telemarking and cross-country.

The Deer and Elk Chair lifts access wide open daily groomed rolling slopes perfect for all ages whether skiing or boarding. The runs off the Elk Chair are some of the best to warm up your ski legs before taking the Boomerang or Great Bear chairs for the easiest access to the fabulous Cedar Bowl terrain. Both the Cedar and Lizard Bowls are marked blue for intermediate and offer terrain that will entice you to try off-piste and glades.
