The new Polar Peak lift has transformed Fernie into a Canadian Rockies highlight. |
FERNIE, BC - The new, spectacular Polar Peak Lift will add to the already incredible vertical at Fernie Alpine Resort, now giving the ski resort a whopping 3550 vertical feet of legendary snow fun.
Combine this with over 2550 acres of terrain over 5 alpine bowls, the deepest snow in the Rockies, and a year-long celebration commemorating 50 years of legendary skiing and riding, and you have a ski destination not to miss this winter.
“Fernie is regularly laden with the Deepest Snow in the Canadian Rockies, and this past winter was no exception with a near record snowfall of over 37 feet!” said Matt Mosteller, VP Marketing & Sales at Fernie Alpine Resort.
Once the snow was cleared last season, Fernie Alpine Resort began construction of the new Polar Peak Lift with the completion date ready for skiers and riders to enjoy during the 2011/12 winter ski season.The Polar Peak lift is the only major new lift installation in the BC Rockies for this winter and one of only a few new lift installations in North America.

“The Polar Peak Lift is an incredible addition to the legendary Fernie experience,” said Mosteller. “This lift will provide spectacular views of peaks, valleys and lakes from Lake Koocanusa in the Southwest to the spine of the Canadian Rockies looking up the Elk Valley all the way into Kananaskis Country/Banff National Park. Polar Peak Lift is taking lift access skiing and riding to the next level, putting Fernie at the top of any Skiers and Riders bucket list."
The Polar Peak Lift adds an above tree-line Bowl skiing experience with over 22 new runs and the incredible experience of skiing off the summit of one of the highest peaks in the Lizard Range, Polar Peak. Many will enjoy making laps of the new Polar Peak Lift or one can enjoy the thigh burning fun of skiing some of the longest runs in the Canadian Rockies.
In addition to the new Polar Peak Lift, Fernie Alpine Resort offers nine other lifts and 140 marked runs.
