September 2007
Calgary, AB – September 20, 2007– Fernie Alpine Resort took the Number 5 spot in Skiing Magazine’s “Top 25 Resorts in North America”. The Resort was one of only two Canadian resorts in the Top 10. The magazine compiled the results after readers submitted their favourite resort picks based on quality of snow, terrain, affordability and nightlife.
Fernie Alpine Resort has gained a reputation for its powder, but is now becoming famous for so much more. With a fun and friendly ski town atmosphere, great dining, adventure activities, a mountain village and a number of new real estate developments, Fernie caters to a variety of skiers and riders from around the globe.
Says Matt Mosteller, Senior Director of Business Development for the Resort, “We’re thrilled that Fernie Alpine Resort continues to join the ranks of some of the top resorts in North America. With over 29 feet of powder each season, 111 runs, 5 alpine bowls, a cool ski town atmosphere and the never-ending events and festivals, it’s no wonder Fernie continues to be one of the best places to visit and ski in Canada.”
