I have noticed that there are a few negative reviews about Fernie for 2009. Well a valid comment here is that 2009 was not at all a typical year for snow at Fernie at all. It in fact had about two thirds of its usual snow fall and the depth at mid only reached about 2.2 metres at the end of the season, However the skiing was still pretty good. I was there in 2009 skiing for 65 out of 75 days, the conditions did vary over this period depending on how long it was between dumps and there was a week when it got a bit icy due to unusually high temps and freezing at night.

I would point out that having been to Fernie for 7 years it usually gets brilliant conditions and if you are lucky enough to be there when it dumps and dumps then it is hard to beat. This year so far the snowfall is beating all previous records for the past 37 years. So consider the negative comments carefully.

With respect to it being busy at weekends and holidays then this has to be taken into perspective. The ski area is a reasonable 2500+ acres and is all in bounds with 5 bowls. The mountain peaks at around 7000 people a day in the busy periods and when you compare this to Whistler that average 40,000-50,000 on 6800+acres then the Fernie ratio is much lower. Whistler has similar densities to those in La Trios Vallee in France. So I suspect those commenting have no experience of a really busy resort. In fact in Fernie in the week the average number of people on the ski hill is around 1000-1500 a day and there are always empty runs. I have seen no one at the base or on lifts in January at 9:30am.

With respect to the lift ticket prices: they are not cheap, but this is mainly due to the exchange rates and if you compare to a major resort in EU then there is not much in it.

Do not be put of, it is a great ski hill and does get very good powder snow when it snows hard. If you go and the conditions are as they are usually you will not be disappointed and it has a lovely feel and charm.
