I'm guessing Polar Peak never opened. What about Currie, Lizard, Cedar Bowls? At any rate on on a day like this the tree skiing at Fernie is world class.
Is this your annual trip with friends? If coming from Calgary wouldn't you go to Castle first? Though with that kind of dump it's possible Castle's upper lift might be closed in which case Fernie's terrain limitations are far less severe.
If you get to Castle Thursday or Friday plenty of that powder should still be there. Saturday too, but you might be waiting in 15+ minute lift lines on the upper chair if the locals know there is fresh snow.
