dave_wick,
If the snows good, and you can use the terrain, probably the best sliding holiday you'll have had.
Nightlife on the other hand........................
Enjoy.
John.

I spent a few half seasons at Red Mountain years ago and the skiers there raved about Fernie, on a par with Red. It will be small if you are used to European areas but the quality of the snow can be excellent and the tree skiing will be amazing.

Nah, admittedly Fernie's a much quieter place than your average euro resort where every night resembles freshers week. It does regularly go big, but only really in one bar a night outside of the weekend so you do need to know the crack if you want to have big nights every night.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

There's 5 pubs in town , the Northern's mainly for lumberjacks and miners who may like a good ruck (unless its been rebranded since I last went in). Do the math on the rest - if the place isn't busy chances are the action's somewhere else that night. The action will always be at the hockey on a Friday or Saturday night early doors at least.

Griz for apres, Kelseys for generic N American chain bar and food. Kelseys not particularly kicking later. Mainly families stay on hill and self cater, season bums and workers provide the midweek atmosphere in town.

dave_wick, what possessed you to organise a pub crawl halfway across the world without first checking that your destination had any pubs? Although I've not been to Fernie, I have been to other resorts nearby and they're about skiing, not drinking.
If you want to drink yourself senseless on holiday, I fear that you'll either be very bored or very unpopular with the other people in resort.
