Not only does Island Lake offer great terrain, they also offer great service and luxury. When you visit the lodge, be sure you don’t miss the world class spa, where you can enjoy relaxing views of nature from a comfy seat in one of the hot tubs. You will also eat well for the duration of your stay, with Island Lake’s gourmet chefs preparing rejuvenating meals all day long. Those are all great reasons to visit, but once you see the terrain Island Lake has to offer, you’ll know why you’re really here. In total, the resort provides you access to over 7,000 acres of ridges, chutes, tree-lines, and more. It covers most of the Cedar Valley, as well as the front and back slopes of Mount Fernie, all of Mount Baldy, and the northern end of the Lizard Range. Combine that diverse terrain with the ability to ski several of the runs straight to the lodge itself and you get the best of the backcountry with the convenience of ski-in ski-out resorts.
If you're looking to experience what Fernie has to offer without all the frills, check out Powder Cowboy Catskiing. This western style resort provides great terrain and service, without burning a hole in your pocket.
If winter isn't your thing, Fernie is also great place to visit right now, during the summer. Both lodges are open during July, offering great deals all season long. Come and enjoy the mountain in reverse by hiking up it, or go down it on wheels instead of skis or a snowboard. There is also plenty of fishing, golfing and other exciting activities to partake in.
