This dynamic multi-week program is crafted for local shredders who are already confident skiers and chair riders, eager for more dedicated on-snow instruction on Friday afternoons. Over six weeks, kids will progress their skills across the mountain, building on fundamental skiing abilities in a fun and supportive group setting. Going "FAR out" means training in all of the environments that Fernie Alpine Resort has to offer: big mountain, race gates and ski cross, bumps, carving and more. We’re thrilled to foster Fernie’s next generation of rippers in this exciting program!
