Pros

  • I can't speak to snow conditions, but Fernie has amazing terrain, and the resort is located just 2 minutes out of town. The town is pretty cool too.
  • Also, Fernie is a great little town.
  • I would prioritize Revy, Red, Whitewater, and Fernie. You could toss in Kicking Horse too. They aren't very snow-sure, but it makes a loop possible.
  • have now been fortunate enough to ski across Canada in kicking horse, revelstoke, fernie, and whistler.
  • Especially if it's not windy and just got fresh snow, then it sucks even more. Just keep pushing onward to Fernie

Cons

  • I was at Fernie last year and had the opposite experience to the other poster - we had a great time. There really weren't any green options on the upper half of the mountain, but the intermediate and black terrain was varied and we were...
  • Fernie has great powder most of the time, and is less busy than Banff resorts most of the time. Both big wins. I do, however, prefer Sunshine or Lake Louise in terms of variety... One shitty part about Fernie is that it does tend to be w...
  • As for Fernie, that day the entire upper mountain was closed due to too much snow (closed for avi control and never opened) and the lower mountain poured rain the entire day. I left around 2 pm once my underwear was soaked.

Fernie might be heaven. ... Pillow talk in the Timber bowl. Those tracks are mine from the first run I did. I basically hit this over and over by myself.

There really weren't any green options on the upper half of the mountain, but the intermediate and black terrain was varied and we were always able to find something we enjoyed. ... I will say the lift network is weak.
