Après – Fernie Style
The heart and soul of Fernie is the camaraderie and goodwill
of a shared experience. Steaming hot tubs melt away the
day’s exertions and slopeside bars and decks build momen-
tum over nachos and beer.

Historic Downtown is just a quick shuttle from the Resort
with an inviting collection of charming stores, cafes and spa
retreats offering gourmet gifts and delicacies. Explore gear
shops where you’ll find service and advice from the people
who live the way you play. Stroll into the evening as the
town turns into a social hub of eclectic dining and nightlife.
Picturesque heritage buildings house busy bars serving
up local Fernie Brewing Company beers and handcrafted
pub food, while stages and dance floors attract a diversity
of musical talents. Casual mid-week jam nights, indie films
and pub trivia give way to lively weekend dance parties and
events, including film festivals and Griz Days – Fernie’s
popular winter festival.
Naturally understated but essentially gregarious, Fernie is small-town charming and big-resort.
energetic. Enthusiasm simmers below the surface, ready to pick up on a catchy rhythm or theme. Locals and visitors join together to celebrate winter and all the magic and mys- tery captured by a moment in the mountains.
