Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Fernie Alpine Resort is offering a package that makes planning quick and easy. It includes air, lodging, and lift tickets, and one phone call arranges the entire trip.

The four-night, three-day package includes airfare from selected eastern and southern U.S. cities via Delta Airlines. Flights go through Salt Lake City to connect with Canadian Rockies International Airport in Cranbrook. The package also includes airport transfers to make the one-hour trek from the airport to Fernie easy.

The package includes four nights' accommodation in a standard room at the Wolf's Den Lodge. The ski-in/ski-out lodge, sitting near the Timber Bowl Quad and a short walk from the village plaza, has two indoor hot tubs, lockers for ski and snowboard storage, and hotel-style rooms with televisions.

Skiers and snowboarders get a three-day lift ticket for Fernie included in the package. Plus a one-day lesson is available per reservation. You can add rentals to your package if you want to avoid the extra baggage fees for bringing your skis or snowboard on the airlines.

Rates start at $969 CAD per person and are based on double occupancy. The package price is valid through Jan. 23. Call 877-333-2339 to book the package.
