Here are the improvements you can anticipate enjoying this year at Fernie Alpine Resort:

More Tree Skiing!
Some of this summer’s glading projects included KC Chutes, Cedar Ridge, Currie Glades and Cougar Glades, a new glade run to skiers right of Stagleap, with more lines being cut in Mitchy Chutes.

Daylodge Enhancements
Significant renovations and upgrades are being made to the dayldoge flooring, downstairs bathrooms, locker area, and Griz Bar.

Ridge Line Project
The installation of a new safety system will allow our Safety team the ability to get into key terrain to conduct control work on a more regular and safe basis. For you, it means more great terrain open sooner on those heavy snowfall days!  Further, 2 avalanche status boards will be added on the mountain to keep you well informed of open/closed areas on powder days.

Ski-in/Ski-out Parking
They have created more parking spaces, with the ability to ski down to the Timber Express and ski back to your vehicle at the end of your day!

More Snow in High Traffic Areas
Fernie Alpine Resort is adding another Techno Alpine snowmaking tower, allowing the mountain to make lots of snow in higher traffic areas.

Rest In Style
Upgrades are being made to the on-mountain Bear’s Den rest area, and a new outhouse will be added at the bottom of the Haul Back lift.

Fernie Alpine Resort is scheduled to open for the 2008/09 ski season December 6, 2008. Wax those boards!
