 Local Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

The hill

What's the hill like? Awesome! There are 2 sides - an old side and a new side. Both offer great alpine bowl skiing, exhilarating steeps and trees. There's e guiding offered every day from local volunteers.

Kids

What's Fernie like for kids? We have two young kids - the condo is very child-friendly, and day care and ski school are great - really professional - we've always felt very happy using the day care/ ski school and the kids have always been really into it.

Eating out

What the options for eating out? There are several places to eat out the hill, and lots more places in town. Our favourite on the hill when we're with the kids is Kelseys, and in town we like Rip 'n Richards - the gys there are great with kids. For adult only evening dining we love the Japanese place on the highway and also the Curry Bowl is a firm favourite.

Night life

What's the night life/ Apres ski like at Fernie? Fernie town has a good selection of pubs and bars. It's not as bust as Whistler or Bamff for folks that like a busy party vibe, but still has some lively spots for enjoying a few beers - we recomend the Pub at Park Place lodge and the Central Hotel. The Royal gets pretty lively if you fancy partying hard with the locals!

 About Us

  • Dad, Bonnie and Martha in the hot tub! Dad, Bonnie and Martha in the hot tub!

 We are a family of 5, living in Cheltenham, UK. Barney lived in Canada for a bit during his early 20's and discovered Fernie back then when only the 'Old Side' was open and the hill was still known as Fernie Snow Valley. We've had the condo since 2003, and try and get out for 2 precious weeks a year. Maybe one day we'll move... We also have some snow obsessive close friends and family who spend a lot of time in BC (and tend to make us very jealous when we're not there!!)

We love Fernie because it's quiet, unpretentious, has a great set up for kids, the people are great and, terrain wise, it gives Jane ample scope to move through the intermediate gears, while Barney gets to go to silly places that are pushing on his riding 13 years on.
