Description of the Ski Area: Dreaming of discovering the ultimate snow? It is time for you to visit Fernie Alpine Resort. Ski velvet after a freshly packed snowfall. Link perfect turns across the wide open slopes of Dancer or carve down groomed-to-perfection Cruiser. Pick a special line in the alpine bowls and begin your mountains of snow adventure.
Be challenged to the limit. Start your adrenalin flowing on the 2000 foot drop of Skydive, dare to exhibit your talents on the Boomerang, drop into snowpacked trees on Cedar Ridge, or make first tracks in Easter Bowl.
