About the #Ferniestoke Ski Shuttle

The shuttle program is a partnership between the City of Fernie, Fernie Alpine Resort, Tourism Fernie and the Fernie Chamber of Commerce.  Two 24-passenger buses will be used in the operation.  The service is being operated by Fernie Alpine Resort.  Funding for the purchase of the two buses was through the Resort Municipality Initiative.
