Fernie Alpine Resort

Friendly staff and good lift service. The word epic comes to mind. Fernie is often blessed with some world class powder. Lots of restaurants and amenities in town. This is a bit of a hidden gem in the Canadian Rockies. I'd probably need a month to try all the runs.

Great variety in food, amenities and run difficulty or type. Well maintained, well staffed. I always appreciate a staff that is both helpful and forgiving. When someone walked off with parts of my rental instead of their own while we had lunch, they were very understanding and quick to help get me back on the mountain with little delay ^_^

Downhill mountain biking was new for us as a family and we really had fun here. Good value for a family 2 day pass. The trails were challenging but we did it without major wipe outs. 2 smaller ones resulting in some scrapes. Be very cautious about trail rating and your family ability. Green runs seem easy but they often have blue sections. Blue in BC is more like black in Alberta in my opinion. Riders must be pretty confident on a bike and good balance to even try this. Ideally get experience on usual mountain bike trails. Use a full suspension bike or rent a downhill bike. The steepness and technical terrain is only for the experienced but you can take it slow to build confidence but watch out for riders that rip down the hill at top speed. Pull over when safe and let them pass. Staff was excellent at helping us load bikes. The lift is quite slow but any faster and getting bikes on would be very challenging. Great time and value. Great covid protocols.

Great staff! Very friendly, helpful and accommodating. They obviously like what they're doing. There's something to do for the whole family. Their ticket packages are fair priced and so totally worth it! Our party took a combination of Bike+Dine and Hike + Dine. So worth it. The food was delish! One of my friends had a bit of an accident in one of the trails and a team came within 15 minutes. They were efficient and gentle. Though our experience ended leaning towards a bad note, we still had lots of fun and we will definitely come back!

Marvellous view. High class lodges. A Place where you can visit the top of mountain in lifts similar to gondola. In summer you can do cycling on the trails of mountains while during winter you can enjoy sking. Must visit.
