2285

A small summit along Heiko’s Trail next to Mt. Fernie with some wicked terrain. Save for a clear day to enjoy the views. Expect to take 6+ hours, especially if you want to ski some of the other lines.

Florida Bowl

Via Bean Creek Drainage from Fernie Visitor Centre (to stay on crown lands). An awesome Fernie backcountry battle if you’re looking for a challenge! Expect to take about 7-9 hours.

Mt. Fernie

Via Fairy Meadows/Mt. Fernie’s drainage.

Swine Flu Chute

A super fun feature close to town with moderate slopes, but a mild bushwack at the bottom. Best as a mid to late season day.

Heaven’s Gate

Via Fernie Ridge’s southwest slopes. A strange Fernie ski tour, made stranger by the sounds of gunshots from a nearby shooting range, cornice collapses, wind-hammered terrain, and plans to develop the area into a ski resort and pedestrian community sharing the name of a suicidal UFO cult from the 70’s.

Mt. Procter

Via Fairy Creek hiking trail and Three Sisters/Mt. Procter south bowl. A beautiful Fernie ski tour into some big terrain.
