Fernie

So I’m told. (Don’t ski, at least not downhill.) Nice little town, in BC’s Rocky Mountains. The downtown area shows signs of a time when Fernie had a better economy.

Too small for me to move to, but a nice mountain town nonetheless.

I lived in Fernie during the 1998-1999 ski season. It is a very cute little town with friendly locals and a nice feel.

The mountain is fantastic. The snow is great, the runs are really varied and fun and it is not very crowded (because it is fairly out of the way). I had a great season – although it would be have been good if there were more females in town for the season…

We went to a ski resort in the summer, took the lift up and went on a great hike. There was hardly anyone around, a great way to enjoy the beautiful mountains and scenery without being surrounded by crowds.. Plus its much cheaper than Banff

This place is brilliant, especially in summer. Get the Canadian Rockies experience without the crowds of Banff. More critters, more mountains, more mountain biking in what they consider low season. Spent ten days here and loved every moment. Great for mountain biking and then you can go hike a Rocky in the afternoon.

Yay! My DH and I are going to Fernie on Sunday, we have a place at the base of the lifts…exciting stuff!
