Beginning right from the edge of town, snowmobilers conquering Fernie can access the Coal Creek and Upper Flathead network of trails. Popular destinations such as Flathead Ridge, also known as the pipeline, and Rolling Hills near the Fernie Snowmobile Club's cabin offer spectacular mountain riding in over 900 cm of annual snowfall. Another favourite is the Communication Tower Lookout trail which provides quick access to the high alpine and offers more stupendous views. Much of the Coal Creek network is ideal for family and intermediate touring. In addition, several trails provide access to the alpine and huge snow bowls which are popular with expert sledders with large, powerful machines.
