Best Canada Ski Resorts to Visit

Fernie has been named as one of the best ski towns in the world by countless sites and magazines, including the likes of National Geographic. It’s historically a mining town that was voted the “Best Little Town in BC,” and for good reason. Fernie actually turned out to be one of our favorite spots in all of Canada.  This resort in the Canadian Rockies is known for drowning in piles of snow. They see an average of nearly 9m of snow or about 29 ft a year. It’s spread out over 2,504 acres of terrain that includes five large bowls, ridges, and glades. To explore all that the mountain has to offer would take a season at least, with countless options for new lines.

Located in the British Columbia Rockies, Fernie Alpine Resort is the ski destination that powder-lovers dream of and is another expert mountain.

The one saying you’ll hear a lot in Fernie is “steep and deep” and it’s well deserved.
