Why Revelstoke is Highly Rated

Revelstoke has something for every kind of skier and has been awarded silver for Best Overall Ski Resort in North America - 2025. Its phenomenal blend of terrain, powder quality, and authentic mountain experience has resulted in an overall rating of 4.69/5.00. Our users consistently praise the incredible variety of terrain, from epic tree runs to challenging bowls and expansive off-piste options. Matthew, an expert snowboarder, calls it "the best mountain I have ever skied" with "insane powder every day, short lift lines, and stunning views." The resort offers what Heidi describes as "challenging terrain, great tree skiing, and family friendly all in one," while Stephanie highlights the exceptional service, noting "there are washrooms or outhouses at the bottom and top of every chairlift as well as warming huts." This well-rounded excellence extends beyond the slopes to the mountain's efficient lift system and diverse dining options.

What truly distinguishes Revelstoke is the exceptional powder quality combined with outstanding value and authentic ski town atmosphere. One Snomad community member praised how the mountain "gets an insane amount of snow annually and offers the most vertical in North America." Lizzy, an expert snowboarder, raved about "great powder resort, lots of possibilities for tree runs," while Lauren noted that "the snow quality is great, there's so much acreage and vert you'll never get bored here." Despite its world-class status, users frequently mention the value aspect - Austin, an expert snowboarder, points out that "lift ticket prices are affordable compared to other resorts like Whistler." The resort's proximity to a charming town with locally-owned businesses adds to its appeal, with Aaron describing it as "a lively après scene" with "typical Canadian food and beer from local micro breweries," completing an authentic mountain experience that's hard to beat.
