I like it quite a lot, it’s a lot of fun but I only go there with friends who own beacons . Quite long to get there from Vancouver if you don’t want to take the plane though! If only a reasonably priced train was an option!... More

The best mountain in North America. Long tree runs, plenty of snow, quiet slopes. I've ridden across most of North America and this is still my favorite place to go. It's not really close to a major airport but it just means it's not crowded. If you get a chance to go you should. It's not a resort for beginners but if you've got some experience and... More

Huge mountain, wildest intermediate groomers, top to bottom, miles and miles, amazing views from the top with regular inversion in the Columbia valley. Trees on the ripper would be a highlight. Epic.... More

Big, high, impressive mountain! To get to the first runs you need to take the first gondola that gets you out of the village. There you'll find the beginners' and kid's hill, and a couple runs that lead back to the village. If you want to enjoy the whole mountain, you've got to take the 2nd gondola! Great lift map, easy to see what goes where.... More

Revelstoke ReviewsMatthew M.

Excellent mountain with many advanced runs. Not too good for a beginner because even on the green runs there are people who are advanced riders riding on it to get to the more challenging terrain, this causes the green runs to become crowded and hard to learn on.... More

I have to be honest.... I only got to ride one day. I got injured at the pool. I did get caught in a minor slide that was set off by a skier up hill of me. It was bit spooky. The hill seemed super great though. I really do need to get back!... More
