Fernie Alpine Resort is a four-season mountain resort on the Lizard Range near Fernie in southeastern British Columbia. Originally called Fernie Snow Valley, it was sold in 1997 to Resorts of the Canadian Rockies. The wider company later faced financial trouble under owner Charlie Locke, entered bankruptcy protection, and was ultimately supported by Alberta businessman N. Murray Edwards. The resort has 10 lifts and 142 named runs across more than 10.1 square kilometres of skiable terrain, with a vertical drop of 1,082 metres. It is especially known for five alpine bowls, extensive tree skiing, heavy annual snowfall, and a brief role as a fictional ski resort in the 2009 filming of Hot Tub Time Machine.
