After riding in Europe for the last 17 years, why did I chose to come to Fernie for my first season? Legendary Champagne Powder, awesome terrain and no crowds.
Well after spending 4 months here I can tell you that Fernie thrives on hype. The legendary champagne powder is no better than anywhere else and is frequently replaced by rain that is apparently the norm for Fernie, but is conveniently never mentioned.
The awesome terrain is there but the runs are very short and are very quickly tracked out when they're not closed; this is more often than not.
The crowds at the weekends or after a dump of snow are quite impressive to say the least and once the powder is tracked out (very quickly) there is no park (small one with a few rails) as jumps are banned. It is apparently RCR policy that you can hurt yourself on jumps but not on steel structures. Is this due to the fact that they fear being sued for injuries or that it's cheaper not to have a park to maintain? Who knows.
While here I've been to Castle Mountain, White Water and Red Mountain - all of which are small but enjoyable for a short trip.
To sum up - It's a small area (8 lifts - including the two drags serving the beginner area).
It rains quite often.
The Canadian Powder is no better than powder anywhere else.
Fernie has good terrain but the runs down are over very quickly - 20 min laps for 10 turns.
It gets tracked out very quickly.
Areas remain closed for long periods.
Fernie suffers from crowds at the weekend and after a dump of snow.
If you are used to the big European resorts then I'm afraid you're not going to be very impressed - North American resorts just don't compare in any way what so ever.
