Castle Mountain
One of the best kept secrets of Alberta, Castle Mountain is located near the southern border with British Columbia, about an hour's drive from Fernie. Every season freeskiers and riders alike flock to this area to rip up the vast off-piste terrain and light dry powder this area experiences. Lift lines are virtually non-existent.
