Our home mountain is Fernie Alpine Resort  in Fernie, BC. Our coaches focus on developing athlete’s skills to meet their goals – fun or competing at the Club, Provincial level within Freestyle BC regional or timber tour circuits as well we compete in IFSA International Freeski & Snowboard Assocation events at Regional 2 and 3 levels.  For our Snowboarders we follow BC Snowboard events within BC and Alberta.  Our goal is to have between a 6:1 min and 8:1 max athlete to coach ratio. Groups are divided based on ability and age. We do encourage all our athletes to try a competition when they are ready to set them up with a positive FUN experience.  They are varies events within the Elk Valley for all levels in all disciplines.

Our Competitive athletes have been selected to BC Winter Games, Canadian Junior National Freestyle Championships, Canada Winter Games, Provincial & National Freestyle Ski Teams.  In the end Fernie Freestyle is all about creating a skill base skiing and riding environment within our NSO (National Sport Organizations) under Freestyle Canada and Canada Snowboard Long Term Athlete Development model so all athletes have a opportunity to take skiing/snowboarding as far as they want and at the end everyone is a Skier For Life.
