Fernie Alpine - Community Reviews & Ratings

Great resort for advanced skiers and boarders who are looking for powder/off piste & bouncing through the trees. Ive skied mainly in Europe otherwise and the piste skiing is really limited compared to the average alpine resort. Crazy expensive lift passes & poor selection of food, albeit I am comparing to Europe, Im told this is fairly typical for North America

Variety of terrain is excellent.on site guide was an asset.. shuttle to town was well used. Residents very friendly and helpful. Slope side accommodations were excellent

Great offpiste. Tricky for beginners and some big cat tracks for the snow boarders to watch out for. Be careful of out of bounds.

The experience was good, the snow is always amazing and theres lots of powder days. Some of the lifts are very slow and old and the parks are not great. But the all mountain skiing makes up for it. One of the best resorts in Canada. Definitely need more then 1 day to explore everything.

Love Fernie for the powder! The runs are long, there are many ski lifts so the wait times are less than 2 minutes. The mountains are very quiet. Cant wait to visit again.

Fernie is the only resort outside of Sunshine that I have been to but it was an unreal experience. More advanced terrain helped me get better at high speeds I loved the quiet runs tree runs and groomed runs AND the powder days are magnificent

Great of terrain skiing especially on the powder days. Good ski in-ski out accomodation but expensive ski tickets.

The powder bowls are next level. Its also a quiter hill which makes finding powder easy. Theres lots of advanced terrain for the best. Absolutely love this resort.

Its amazing, went over new years with sum buddys didnt get a lot of snow but from the wind everything was all filed in every day.

Gone to Fernie a few times over the years. The town is picturesque with some great coffee shops and places to eat. Ive always stayed in town and the drive to the hill is manageable and parking hasnt been an issue when Ive gone. Love that there is no gondola, lifts are fast and the runs are fantastic. Definitely would recommend, I think there is something for every level at Fernie.

Fernie is an all around great place to visit. The ski hill accommodates all skier levels and has a vast variety of environments. There are great accommodations right on the hill as well as in the town itself. The town of Fernie offers so much and its great to stroll up and down the main drag. No matter where you are skiing the views are incredible. Its a huge mountain with a small town feel.

Our overall experience was awesome! The people are great, never had any problems. The riding is awesome, lots of choices. And there's deals all the time so, we found great value in choosing Fernie for a weekend trip.

The bowls are extremely fun. When we went, there was so much powder that the polar express chair was not open, so I was not able to experience the summit. We did many tree runs and the skiers and snowboarders were very respectful and nice. Groomed runs were also amazing, just less powder. Food is reasonable for a ski resort, they even have sushi!

Great resort. No queues! Not a beginners hill. Good mix of groomed, and glade skiing. Quaint historic town, friendly folk.

Fernie has amazing powder and the town has a great vibe. This is a well kept secret with not a lot of tourists. Well worth the trip.

Fernie Alpine Resort is by far my favourite resort. The powder is the best and most reliable I've found in Canada. The variety of runs is extremely nice given it's all ok the same mountain; from steep chutes to much more mellow greens, and theres always somewhere new to explore. Its never too crowded and you can always find somewhere more hidden so you actually get to enjoy the mountain instead of waiting in lines. Perfect mix of chill vibes and epic terrain.

Fernie Alpine is a fantastic resort! Really good vibes. The staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The powder is amazing! However some of the lifts are long and slow making it hard to get lots of quick laps in but still such great elevation and views. Lots of intermediate-to advanced skiing. Lots to do in town that is 5 minutes away from the base. Shuttles make everything really accessible and easy if you dont have a car. Great for larger groups too as you can rent great places in town or at the base. Something for everyone in Fernie. Great skin and great views!

Great Bowls! Love how the mountain kind of has sections and chairs with terrain targeted to ability level together.Such a fun natural playground

We have boarded on Fernie four times and keep going back. It has the most varied terrain and spectacular scenery of any of the Canadian resorts and a wholly authentic town which and is very different from a purpose made ski resort. Its a bit off the beaten track so people that visit want to visit. Locals are very friendly , lift queues are normally small except pow days. Fernie is an authentic Canadian winter sports destination.

Fernie has a beautiful town nearby, and the hills are fantastic. Most are more advanced, so not many kids or families. There is so much to explore and impressive bowls.
