can't go wrong with either!! personally i go to Fernie alot more.. I dunno about the safe way?? i would assume by safe they might mean straight south, then west on highway 3?? Kind of a long drive for ya!!

Yeah the drive might suck hahaha. This is my first winter in Calgary and I would like to hit up as many different mountains as I can this year. I plan on going for 3 days so I thought I would go somewhere a bit further away, then just make day trips to closer mountains. It's been years since I have been on a true mountain so im pretty stoked!

Fernie it is! I was on their website and they have some pretty good mid-week deals. Fresh powder always puts a smile on my face!

oh and if you do go to fernie you might want to take a day and go to castle mountain ....really fun hill and no line ups at all its only an hour away from fernie and you have to drive past it to get to fernie .....Its a hidden gem!!!!
