Winter in Fernie:
Deep & Glorious
Winter season is what Fernie is most known for across the globe thanks to the legendary annual snowfalls.
An Endless Winter Wonderland
From November to mid- April, snowy mountain bask in bright winter sun above our welcoming town. Forest trails and alpine bowls create a winter wonderland offering acres of unrivalled adventures and soul-soothing activities.
The winter season has been welcoming and inspiring visitors for decades to enjoy ski slopes at Fernie Alpine Resort, acres of cat skiing in two distinct areas, extensive big mountain snowmobiling terrain, and maintained trail system for Nordic skiing, fat biking and snowshoeing.
Step out the door right onto the slopes, refuel at incredible dining spots on the mountain or in town, and soak up the kind of warm hospitality Fernie is known for. It’s the full winter experience - Rocky Mountains style.
Top Activities To Do in Winter
Snowfall & Alpine Adventures
Winter in Fernie transforms the valley into a playground of powder and possibility. From December through March, crisp mornings give way to exhilarating days on the slopes, snow-covered trails, and alpine vistas that stretch for miles. By mid-March through mid-April, the season shifts into prime spring skiing, with longer days, slushy turns, and sun-filled après delights. As daylight fades, the welcoming glow of the town offers a well-earned pause before another day of mountain adventures begins.
