Mountains of snow, mountains of adventure! An amazing 29 feet of natural snow blankets the ski area’s impressive five alpine bowls nestled in the majestic limestone cliffs of the Lizard Range in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia. This is the fastest growing resort in Canada, 'top ten in North America’, ‘most improved’ and ‘best new lifts’ are just a few of the notable awards this resort has earned. You choose your level of adventure at Fernie, steep and deep or smooth and gentle, you will love our incredible variety of terrain.

Many tastefully appointed accommodations and year round services are available at the resort base village, with more improvements and real estate opportunities to come, offering the very best in mountain living.

For a change of scene after a day on the slopes, the quaint city of Fernie, rich in coal mining history and turn-of-the-century architecture, is sure to please the whole family and is only minutes away from the resort.
SKI & SNOWBOARD TRAILS & ROUTES
General    Beginners:
The Mini Moose and Mighty Moose lifts are the place to start for the wee ones in the group and for the ‘first timer’ skiers and snowboarders. For the ultimate confidence boost we recommend a lesson with the friendly Winter Sports School professionals. They will have you cruising with confidence and a smile! The Deer and Elk Chair lifts access wide open daily groomed rolling slopes perfect for all ages of beginner and intermediate skiers and riders. These well marked runs and return-to-base access will keep parents worry free.

Intermediates:
The runs off the Elk Chair lift are some of the best to warm up your ski legs, then try the Boomerang Chair for the easiest access to the fabulous Cedar Bowl terrain. Most of the runs in Lizard and Cedar Bowls are marked blue/intermediate, choose your favorite of the day! The high speed Timber Bowl Express and White Pass Quad take you to new heights on the mountain and more than enough exciting terrain to explore. Need to get your bearings? Meet at the base area for a complimentary Mountain Host Tour departing at 9:30 and 1:30pm daily.
