my parents have a condo in fernie, its a great place. nice town, and not really touristy (hopefully it'll stay that way). I love it up there.

good, the park isn't anything special, but the terrain makes up for it. on pow days its absolutely sick, but the lift lines can get really crowded, especially around the bottom of the hill, but I usually stay up top so it's not too bad.

sorry I wouldn't know, i haven't had a chance to go sledding yet. I'd go around to some of the local shops and ask around, they might be able to help you out.

ya I ski there the most out of any hill. it takes about 3 hours to get down there from where I live, but I'm up there on holidays, long weekends, and the occasional normal weekends if I don't have a lot of work to do.

yah fernie is the bestest place in the rockies for sure, and for the guy who said kimberlys park is better.. are you kidding me??? everything is so small and very poorly maintained, your big table was all of 30ft and you had to giver from the middle of your pipe to make the landing.

Fernie is radical, I live there for half of the time. And the other half in Calgary, it is a bit of a drive, but it gets shorter everytime. I thought Fernies park sick, It wasnt really comparable to Louise's park, but it was really good, just needed more rails. But if your going to Fernie to ski only, than dont even bother witht the park, its usually has the best snow in the Rockies ( i think).
