Nestled in the heart of the towering Canadian Rockies, the majestic little town of 5,000 friendly Fernieites is surrounded by towering peaks, untrammeled wilderness, some of North America's greatest fly fishing for native and wild trout, and offers unparalleled powder skiing. There is superlative alpine skiing at one of Canada's finest ski areas, Fernie Alpine Resort, which receives more than 29 feet of fluffy powder every year. Fernie's Golf and Country Club offers 18 holes of championship nirvana beneath the towering crags of the peaks of the Three Sisters.
