THAT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING NEWS đź“°!!!!
HUGE NEWS!! We are excited to announce that Fernie Alpine Resort will be getting 2 new high-speed chairlifts in 2027!
Elk Express – Fernie Alpine Resort - Fernie will see the installation of a new high-speed detachable four (4) passenger lift in 2027, the Elk Express. This new lift will replace the current Elk Quad Chair, which will be retired. The Elk Express will shorten the ride time to mid-mountain by nearly 50%. As a key component of Fernie Alpine Resort’s Summer Operation, this new high-speed detachable lift will make the summer experience faster and smoother. Opening of the Elk Express is scheduled for the winter of 2027/28.
Cedar Bowl Express – Fernie Alpine Resort - Fernie will see a second new lift in 2027 with the installation of the Cedar Bowl Express. This new high-speed detachable four (4) passenger lift will transport skiers and riders from the bottom of Cedar Bowl to the top of the Bear Chair area, allowing guests to have one lift transport back to the top of Cedar Bowl versus the three-lift ride that is currently required. Opening of the Cedar Bowl Express is scheduled for the winter of 2027/28.
This is part of RCR's investment of 4 new lifts in it's Western Canada Resorts!
