Full Course Story 1 week in Fernie, Canada

A week built for big skiing, good times, and real all-mountain progression — in one of North America’s best ski towns. Five iconic bowls, famous storm cycles, expert coaching, and a crew of skiers who are here for exactly the same reason you are.

Across five full coaching days, experienced Nonstop coaches take you into the mountain properly — finding the best snow and the terrain most people miss. Whether its powder, steeps, trees, bumps, or technical routes — every session is built to help you ski with more confidence, flow and control, and feel like you’ve unlocked a different mountain by Friday.

The week is structured to build momentum. A free day in the middle gives you space to breathe, but the rhythm never really drops — each session stacks on the last, and by the end of the week the difference is real. With early season and spring dates available, you can tap into two very different sides of Fernie: the first big storms and electric energy of winter kicking in, or longer days, softer snow, and spring afternoons that go on forever.

Off the hill, it’s proper Fernie life. Morning coffee and snow checks, post-ride beers at the Griz, shared dinners, and the kind of evenings that come naturally when a group has pushed hard and earned it. Solo travellers fit straight in — the social side of this week has a habit of becoming just as memorable as the skiing.

If you want quality time on snow, genuine step-change progression, and a week that actually delivers — this is it.

Timeline

Seven days in Fernie. Proper terrain, real progression, and the full mountain experience. Here's a taste of what your camp could look like.

Arrival
Sun
Mon-Tue

Thu-Fri
Farewell

The week starts in Calgary before the transfer west into the mountains. A few hours on the road — then you’re in Fernie. Unpack, rest up. The mountain’s not going anywhere, but tomorrow comes fast.

Straight into it. After breakfast and a quick orientation, you’re on the hill for day one — getting legs moving, finding early rhythm, and exploring the terrain with your coach and group. It’s your first taste of the bowls, the trees, and the freeride lines that made this place famous. The evening rolls into welcome drinks and food.

This is where the week starts clicking. Sessions build with the conditions and the group — powder runs, steeps, trees and technical lines through Fernie’s iconic bowls. Every day stacks on the last. Off snow, evenings are all about recovery, après, and settling into the rhythm of Fernie life

Midweek is yours to own. Freeski the best lines from your first days, or dial it back with recovery and exploring town. Whatever the mountain calls for, you set the pace.

The mountain starts opening up differently now. Confidence is up, instincts are sharper, and the final coaching days push into tougher lines, bigger terrain, and more of Fernie’s steeps and technical zones than you were ready for on day one. Friday night ends the way it should — one last après, end-of-week send-off, stories from the week.

Saturday morning comes around quickly. Last coffee, final goodbyes, transfer back to Calgary. Tired legs, stronger skiing, and a week’s worth of memories from deep in the BC mountains.

Resort

Fernie is a ski mecca with cult status for its deep powder, adventurous terrain and authentically Canadian town, just a few of the reasons Nonstop was founded here. Set in southeast British Columbia, it receives mega amounts of annual snowfall and has the biggest vertical in Canadian Rockies.

Nightlife

Fernie is a skier’s dream: raw, rugged and endlessly rideable. Home to five legendary alpine bowls – Cedar, Lizard, Currie, Timber and Siberia – this mountain is built for exploration. Whether you're carving groomers or dropping into steep chutes, Fernie serves up some of the most varied and exciting terrain in North America.

Fernie’s snowfall is the stuff of legend. With an average of 10 metres per season, it’s one of the snowiest resorts in the Rockies – and the quality is just as impressive as the quantity. A combination of the horse-shoe shape of the bowls, local weather systems and Pacific fronts are to thank for Fernie’s frequent dumps and feather-light flakes.

Fernie hits different than a typical ski area – it’s a real-deal mountain town full of soul and energy. Hidden in the southeast corner of British Columbia, Fernie is shaped by powder-loving locals who live for the mountain. As the rule goes, shops close if it’s a big pow day, 20 cennies plus! Downtown brings its own vibe, with indie shops, local coffee spots, good eats, an old-school cinema, and a community that welcomes newcomers like old friends.

Fernie’s après and nightlife strike a perfect balance, with everything from lively to low-key. The go-to après hangout is all about the Griz Bar at the base of the ski hill – grab jugs of Kokanee with your mates, play a bit of pool, or vibe out on sun deck in spring. Back in town, there’s lots going on with live music and DJ sets at The Northern, open mic nights at The Brickhouse, and legendary karaoke at the Ranging Elk. The scene has a bit of everything, and it’s damn cool.

Coaching

Fernie isn't the kind of mountain you crack on your own — not properly. This camp puts you in the hands of a local Nonstop coach, alongside a tight group of like-minded skiers, and the progression is real. Not just technically — but in how you read terrain, pick lines, and commit to them. By the end of the week, you'll be skiing Fernie differently.

Unlock more of the mountain and ride it with better flow and less hesitation. Fernie naturally pulls you into more technical zones — the coaching is built to help you adapt quickly and move through the mountain with freedom. Powder, trees, steeps, bumps, technical lines — sessions evolve around conditions and what the group is ready to take on.

Five coaching days, with a free day built into the middle to rest up or ski on your own terms. Sessions move between technical work, freeride, line choice, and reading the mountain as conditions shift — always built around what the group is ready to take on. Video analysis runs throughout the week, giving you a clearer picture of what’s actually happening in your skiing and where the real gains are.

Groups are formed around both ability and approach — getting the chemistry right matters as much as the skill match. The atmosphere is collaborative — pushing each other, sharing lines, building confidence as the days stack up. We run with six skiers per coach on average — small enough to be personal, social enough to be fun.

Our coaches know Fernie inside out — where the snow holds, how the terrain skis throughout the day, when to push and when to pull back. Alongside technical coaching, they shape the rhythm of the week, keeping sessions progressive, supportive, and tuned to the energy of the group.

Activities

This camp goes beyond just great coaching. It’s about dropping into the rhythm of Fernie for a full week — local experiences, hands-on workshops, and laid-back socials that bring the crew together beyond the slopes.

Experiences
Workshops
Socials

The free day is yours — no agenda, no alarm, no coaching cues. But if you want ideas, we’ve got plenty. Snowshoeing, snowbiking, or XC skiing are all on the table; a different way to move, explore a side of Fernie most people never find, and come back to the slopes the next day with fresh legs and a fresh perspective.

Once during the week, we take things off-slope and into the detail. A Nonstop workshop covers the stuff that makes a difference — ski tuning, recovery, mobility, movement, mountain know-how — the exact topic rotates through the season, but it’s always practical, hands-on, and useful well beyond the week itself.

From first-night beers to final laps, the week naturally builds a strong social energy. Evenings roll between après spots, local bars, shared dinners, and whatever’s happening around town that week — live music, hockey nights, or low-key nights after a full day on snow. Just good people, tired legs, and a proper week in the mountains.

It Starts with the Riding

Ride Better

Go Further

We take you to the right place at the right time — with the local knowledge to make it count. Ride handpicked mountains, find the hidden zones, and immerse in adventures beyond the piste map — no wasted days, just the good stuff.

Find Your Crew

Arrive solo or with mates — you'll find yourself amongst riders who show up for the same reasons you do. People who get it and push you forward. Shared turns, shared powder days, and connections that outlast the season.

The course experience was great, and my skiing has improved loads. Everything was well organised, and everyone was kind, fun and easy-going. The coaching was excellent with a mix of technical and challenging runs each day, and personalised feedback to progress. "
