Fernie Resort Reviews
Read what others around the web have said about Fernie Alpine Resort.
- Nollie Extreme Girls
- Quote: "You're looking for steep and deep - it snowed right up until day before resort closing last season, and we had deep pow in April (and December, January and February). And yes, it is steep, don't come here if you like miles of gentle greens."
- On The Snow
- Quote: "This place is truly a hidden gem. Like that special fly fishing hole people never tell anyone. My wife made me right this review because she thinks more skiers and riders should enjoy skiing and riding in a simple, natural and friendly way."
- Ski Town
- Quote: "If there's a better ski mountain on earth, tell me where it is, because I'm going. Fernie is a very special place, and the copious snow is only where it begins. Two things really define Fernie. The first is the utterly wild terrain. The second thing is the community."
- Gone Boarding
- Quote: "I spent two weeks there over Christmas and New Year. The place is amazing! It must have snowed around 6 times while we were there and most of those times were big dumps. There was almost always fresh powder to be found even if you didn't make it up there until a bit later in the day."
