Ski Tours Canada are snow travel specialists for the interior British Columbia ski resorts, including Fernie Alpine Resort, one of Canada’s premier ski-in/ski-out resorts.

Located in the Kootenay Rockies region it’s a 60-minute-drive from the Canadian Rockies International Airport in Cranbrook.  The aiport has recently completed the expansion of its runway and newly expanded and renovated terminal.  Fernie is also only a three-hour drive from Calgary or four hours from Spokane (USA).

Fernie is Canada’s fastest growing four-season resort – and reputedly the powder snow capital of the world. It boasts challenging terrain for unequalled extreme skiing but also an abundance of soft cruising runs for the intermediates and beginners. Perfect really for everyone.

Fernie Alpine Resort is home to one of the largest youth ski teams in the country - the Fernie Alpine Ski Team (FAST).  Come see why so many kids have fun in Fernie!

Within the resort’s 1,013 hectares (2,504 acres) are five enormous bowls, glades, cliffs and cruising runs certain to satisfy every level of snow enthusiast. The annual average snowfall is around 8.75m (29ft) so you won’t be short of the white stuff, even at the end of the season.

Fernie’s awesome powder snow blankets 107 designated trails. Ten modern lifts carry passengers up into the higher areas to a peak-height of 1,925m (6,316ft).

Ever wished you could have the whole mountain all to yourself?  Fernie's First Tracks program provides guests with the opportunity to experience untouched power or corduroy-perfect groomed runs before anyone else is on the mountain, while being guided by one of the Winter Sports School's top pros.

The snowflakes are the size of postage stamps in Fernie!

Apart from world-class facilities and all that powder Fernie also offers that wonderful add-on to the perfect winter vacation – the chance to ski -n and ski-out of your own front door. There is more and more slopeside accommodation being built each year now offering quite a few alternatives for our guests.

Because the team at Ski Tours Canada knows the resort intimately we can advise you on the best accommodation to suit your needs.

An added bonus is the close proximity to another emerging ski resort – Kimberley Alpine Resort. Kimberley, a Bavarian-styled resort, is renowned for long cruising runs and the most sunshine of any other resort in BC. Fabulous family skiing and the largest illuminated night skiing in the west add to its attraction. A three-day or more multi-day pass allows you to ski at both Fernie and also nearby Kimberley Alpine Resort a mountain crammed with ski runs.

Want more? Well, what about the local tours? Ice fishing for salmon and trout perhaps or a wildlife safari on the look out for grizzly bears.

Fernie Old Town is an attraction in itself too. Located a short 10-minute drive from Fernie Alpine Resort, Fernie township was devastated by fires in 1904. This led to new building laws and the town was rebuilt in only brick and stone. The beautiful historic buildings still survive in Fernie’s historic core.

Ski Tours Canada can design your personal snow holiday with as many extra services and activities as you like, from home-delivered groceries to fishing and golfing. After all we are here to make your Fernie holiday unforgettable.
