 SNOW is the one word that captures the magic at Fernie. Located in the British Columbia Rockies, Fernie Alpine Resort is the ski destination that powder-lovers dream of, with an average annual snowfall of 29ft! The snowfall has long been attributed to the lore and legend of “The Griz”, a legendary, fur-clad character patrolling the peaks, toting a musket that he uses to fire into the clouds, generating Fernie’s signature snowfalls.
