It kicks butt. So many huge alpine bowls, not a bad terrain park, great pow because of the fact it is in an inland rainforest. That fact also means it rains a bit, so bring your shell. So go for it.

^Excellent point. Dont get into the bc unless you know what you are doing, because we want our tax dollars going to something more productive than hauling dead people out of the backcountry.

Yeah fernie is the shit. Never really crowded and its cheap to ski at. Look at conditions and weather outlook before you go. Last year sucked, winter never really came till later on in the season.

Nelson is 563km from Revy so I'd wager on the interior highways it would take 5 hours. Do you think it would take longer or shorter?

Fernie is terrible. The snow sucks, and the runs are short, and the park is non existant. The Backcountry is rediculously hard to get out of, u have to hike for close to 3 hours after one run if you go OB.

Also, the lifts are old and very slow, and usually it is either foggy or minus 25C.
