Boston Pizza: Great Pizza and pasta
sam_was_here Says: The big Boston Pizza chain, but do fantastic pizza and pastas, almost something for everyone. The resturant was pleasant, and pizza's well priced. Service was good and just an all around good experience. Had the sports bar next door, which we went to on game night, but no...
Mojo Risin': Cajun in Canada???
CDNgirl Says: This was a place I went with an old travelling friend who highly recommended the place. Its a small(seats about 20) cajun restaurant in Fernie, BC. Yes, the ski town. It was so great! One waitress, one chef, great antiques, great artwork on the walls, all adds to great...
MrBill Says: Likely you will have to fly to Calgary and then rent a car to get to Fernie. It is about a 3-hour drive. Going through the Crow's Nest Pass can be a little hairy during the winter if there is snow and ice. The roads can be extremely slippery, as the temperature will hover...
Fernie Arts Co-op: Fantastic local Artists displaying work
sam_was_here Says: A quaint shop with squeeky floorboards and hundreds of pieces or art on display, at reasonable prices. All the artists ban together to pay for the shop and I spent quite a while looking at various pieces before i decided what I wanted to buy. Very well worth a visit if...
MrBill Says: I try to take a ski lesson everytime I am at Fernie even though I am a ski instructor myself. However, I do most of my skiing in Europe and we do not have the steep and deep stuff like in Fernie. Therefore, the local instructors can really bring you up to speed on powder...
MrBill Says: Don't let your vacation end in tragedy. Stay on marked trails. Do not ski out of bounds.Test a new slope for snow pack stability before cutting fresh tracks. If no one else has skied it, it may not be safe. Look for typical avalanche signs, like strewn boulders and broken...
Camping_Girl Says: The World's Biggest Truck is an old mining truck, now retired and on display in Sparwood, BC. Sparwood is about a 15 minute drive east of Fernie, near the Alberta border.This truck is just huge, take a look at my 6' 2" hubby next to the tire in the photo, to give you a...
MrBill Says: Acres & Acres of Powder and very few to share it with, which suits me just fine.
rmdw Says: This photo was taken in August 1986 when my UBC Mining Engineering class went on a field trip through B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan.As Sparwood isn't in the VT system, I chose the neighbouring town of Fernie instead.I believe that many of the mines offer tours, especially...
MrBill Says: It's not just a past time, it is a calling.
MrBill Says: Not the highest peaks, but with 12-feet of powder each year, certainly some of the nicest to ski. You cannot measure a mountain in verticle feet alone. link: http://ski.keep-exploring.ca/us/bc/fernie.html

Fernie is best known as a winter ski destination, but there are also plenty of things to do here in the summer months. Fernie is a short 30 minute drive west of the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta.

Fernie, the Unknown BC Crown??
Such a beautiful place, seems to have been left behind with regards to other "ski" places in BC and AB. But this leaves it some charms, a not so developed place to visit, which is not as touristic as...

Fernie and Sparwood...gateway to Crowsnest Pass
Sparwood is the coal mining area of the Crowsnest. At one time, the huge Terex Titan truck was the world's largest, carrying 360 tons. It has however, been superceeded by the Cat 797B which was...
