Map & Owner's Profile
Polar Peak Mountain Side Ski-in Townhome with Hot Tub
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Fernie
We vacationed in Fernie in 2000, and fell in love with the hometown feel and friendliness of this small and historic mining community which offered the best powder skiing in Canada.
Polar Peak is a magical place for us, nestled amongst the pines and firs at the Fernie Alpine Resort. By day it is a great base for the many activities offered in Fernie and the Elk Valley. By night it is engulfed by a wondrous canopy of stars so bright that you realize that the universe has taken extra special care to create this unique and unspoiled mecca. It is a place to re-balance, to pursue the joy of life (and its real priorities!), and enjoy family and friends.
Our favourite outings – apart from fabulous skiing (Oh... what powder!!!), hiking the Lost Boys Pass along the ridge to Polar Peaks or the trails around Island Lake Lodge, and thereafter enjoying a BBQ with friends. Farther afield, hiking Glacier and Waterton National Parks.
The Unique Benefits at this Town Home
Our townhome is on the quiet side of the Polar Peak townhouse development, away from the road traffic going to the hill. It has ample parking, and unlike the other units, has an extra wide balcony, which is delightful for summer lounging and winter BBQing.
Here at Polar Peak you can enjoy the true Fernie experience, both summer and winter. Hike the Ridge Walk, view the wonderful Kootenays from on high, bike along side mountain streams, soak up the sun at Lake Koocanusa, cliff jump at the Silver Lakes, drift boat the majestic Elk casting your line for cutthroat and bull trout, absorb the smells of the giant cedars or catch a glimpse of a moose and her calf at Island Lake, read about the legend of the Ghostrider on Mount Hosmer or attend the popular Fernie Writers’ Festival. If you are a golfer, Fernie has its own course, and there are many championship courses within half an hour of the townhome.
Experience the legendary Fernie “powder” where the locals adhere to the 20 cm snow rule, downing their tools and shutting their businesses to head to the mountain. The town also features good dining, interesting historical walks, and a thriving arts community. Many who come to Fernie don’t leave, and as a result there are interesting folk here from around the world.
Fernie is three hours from Calgary and its international airport, and accessible by Hwy 3 through the Crowsnest Pass. The townhome is a five minute drive from town.
