It is the largest area for skiing near Calgary. The main feature of Fernie ski resort is that it is the second-biggest in Canada after Whistler Blackcomb with more than 140 km of slopes and more than 10 ski lifts in total. It is also famous for its 5 legendary bowls: Currie, Timber, Siberia, Lizard, and Cedar. The resort is best suitable for intermediate skiers — most of its slopes are red. However, for easy and advanced skiing, it has almost the same total length of blue and black slopes each, so it's pretty much universal. The most common type of ski lift is a chairlift. The Fernie season is from mid-November to late May in general.
