Fernie Adaptive Snowsports at a Glance
Fernie Adaptive Snowsports-F.I.R.E is a not for profit society which allows individuals of all abilities the opportunity to enjoy snow sports at Fernie Alpine Resort. With the support of our certified volunteer instructors, our goal is to give our students the freedom to ski and snowboard.
