Fernie Cedar Bowl Live Cam, British Columbia

This camera looks out over Cedar Bowl at Fernie Alpine Resort, at an elevation of 1,680 meters (about 5,500 feet), in the Lizard Range of the Canadian Rockies in southeastern British Columbia.

Fernie is legendary among powder skiers. The resort is known for its five huge alpine bowls, Cedar, Lizard, Currie, Timber and Siberia, which fill with deep snow during winter storms. Fernie's location means it often catches heavy snowfall from Pacific systems, and the bowls offer open powder fields, glades and steep chutes. Cedar Bowl is one of the most popular, with terrain for intermediate and advanced skiers.

The town of Fernie, just down the valley, is a historic coal-mining town with a charming downtown of brick buildings, cafés and pubs. It has a strong outdoor culture, with mountain biking, fly fishing and hiking taking over in summer.

This cam is a great way to see how much new snow has fallen in the bowl, what visibility is like up high, and whether the clouds are lifting. On bluebird days after a storm, the view of fresh tracks in Cedar Bowl is a powder hound's dream.
