Why Revelstoke is Highly Rated for Advanced Skiers

Revelstoke is a heaven for advanced skiers and riders. The 2025 silver award for Best Resort for Advanced Skiers in North America is in very good hands. An impressive 4.66/5.00 score for advanced skiers is a testament to its reputation as North America's ultimate playground for skilled riders seeking a challenge. The resort boasts what many consider the continent's most formidable terrain combination, with our Snomad community consistently praising its steep vertical drops and technical sections. Expert skier Kaitlin describes it as "not for the faint of heart," while advanced skier Devon notes the terrain's demanding nature even when snow conditions aren't optimal. The mountain's formidable character is further highlighted by Debbie, an intermediate skier who calls it "definitely for more advanced skiers and not for the faint of heart." With the longest vertical drop in North America, Revelstoke demands respect from even the most confident riders.

What truly elevates Revelstoke to silver status is its unique blend of demanding on-piste challenges and accessible backcountry-style terrain within resort boundaries. Expert snowboarder Yacine points out that "runs are steep, and can get seriously moguled-up," while one Snomad user, Heidi, enthusiastically describes it as "challenging terrain, great tree skiing" with "the best resort in North America, hands down!" The mountain's technical appeal extends to its famous tree runs, which advanced snowboarder Shawnee calls ideal because "the hill is pretty steep which makes it great." For those willing to push their limits, expert skier Carson recommends "hiking to the top after taking all the lifts" to access the spectacular North Bowl – a prime example of how Revelstoke rewards those ready to earn their turns with truly exceptional descents.

Revelstoke, Canada

"We went to Revy this year for the first time and I absolutely loved it as an advance rider. It has really nice tree and powder terrain, both steep & mellow options, and the snow stays dry and fluffy all the time!"

About the Snomad Ski Resort Awards

The Snomad Ski Resort Awards are the most authentic and unbiased recognition in the ski industry, based entirely on genuine guest experiences from real skiers and snowboarders.

Unlike other awards that rely on paid nominations or allow resorts to collect their own votes, ours are determined by verified ratings from actual visitors who have experienced these resorts firsthand.

This approach ensures that winning resorts truly deserve recognition based on guest satisfaction rather than marketing budgets or social media follower counts, providing you with trustworthy recommendations for your next mountain adventure.
