The filming in Fernie was originally to take place in Banff but due to concerns from Parks Canada about the plot featuring an Indigenous gang boss, Banff was no longer a location. Read CBC news story. Fernie was quickly decided upon as one of the new locations. Fernie fits the plots since it’s a classic ski town located in the Rocky Mountains, and has a welcoming community for the film industry.
The filming on April 10 will be primarily at Fernie Alpine Resort and on April 11th in Historic Downtown Fernie.
The Norwegian version of the film is available on Netflix. Hard Powder is due to be released in 2018.”
