We loved the whole experience. The skiing, of course, is always fantastic, but so was Griz Days (the whole town gets involved). We also attended a sold out Ghostriders playoff game that was really electric and enjoyed some of Fernie's food/restaurant offerings that really compete with the calibre you'd get in any large city.

Fernie has great and plenty of accommodations but with many many construction workers and it being summer I would highly recommend booking far in advance of your stay. The Hostel is rough and the basic of amenities in the room. Take your own towels. Sounds outrageous but we weren't offered towels, what services were available, or offered anything other than the room at check in. I have stayed in hostels that were quite comfortable but I would never recommend the Raging Elk to anyone. There were no rooms available except this place . We had business in Fernie otherwise we would have carried on to Cranbrook.

Fernie is a great little town. I liked the shops as they were unique and offered different options. Also liked buying items that were made locally. The mountain view was amazing, loved how the mountains surrounded the town. The bagel shop food was great. I loved the chocolate shop as the chocolate was made locally which is why I made a purchase there. Some of the clothing in stores were very pricey, seemed to be good quality though. Very friendly service experience everywhere I shopped.

We loved this town! Like Telluride without the pretense and movie stars. And way more affordable! Snow Valley Lodge is amazing with great rooms and tiny houses too... although they were booked. I forgot an item and they saved it for me. Friendly and beautiful town! And the beer is really good too!

Fernie had great restaurants and a lot of choices of where to eat. Unfortunately, there this location is a 15 minute drive into town to go to eat so you need to plan your trips back and forth. Lots to do in Fernie and around for exercise - walking trails / paths, biking etc during any season. There is also a number of historical places to check out. There are staffing problems in Fernie right now so you could not always count on the posted hours being correct. Listening to people who live in Fernie they have struggled to find enough workers and are concerned about the upcoming ski season for staff. For example, the Tim Horton's was closed the three days we were there because of lack of staff.

The people in the town were casual and very friendly and I felt comfortable there, like I would like to get to know them. It looks like it would be very busy here in ski season. I would like to come back and explore some mountain hiking.
