Winter in Fernie:
Deep & Glorious
Winter season is what Fernie is most known for across the globe thanks to the legendary annual snowfalls of up to 30 ft / 10 m.
An Endless Winter Wonderland
Winter in Fernie, British Columbia runs from late November to mid-April, with snow-covered peaks, alpine bowls and forest trails set in the Canadian Rockies. Visitors from near and far come for downhill skiing and snowboarding at Fernie Alpine Resort, guided cat skiing in two distinct areas, big-mountain snowmobiling, and groomed trails for Nordic skiing, fat biking and snowshoeing. Stay slopeside at the resort or in town, just a short 10-min drive from the ski resort, and refuel at many dining spots in both locations. It’s the full winter experience, Rocky Mountains style.
