"The drive between Whitewater and Fernie Alpine Resort is around three-and-a-half hours by car, but you can also start your Powder Highway journey by flying into Kalispell, Montana, and making the two-hour drive north to Fernie (or flying into Calgary, which is just over three hours by car). Either way, Fernie is one of those spots you won’t want to miss. The mountain is steep and has a reported 37 feet of snow annually, on average. The mountain is unique in that it hosts five alpine bowls, and riders won’t want to miss a journey up the iconic Polar Peak chairlift, which provides ski access to one of the highest peaks in the Lizard Range.
