Why Revelstoke is Highly Rated

Revelstoke has earned its 2025 bronze award for Best Overall Ski Resort - Worldwide. Revelstoke scored a rating of 4.69/5.00 through an exceptional blend of terrain variety and consistent powder conditions that have skiers and snowboarders raving. The mountain boasts North America's highest vertical drop, creating what one Snomad user calls "long runs with good steeps" and "lots of vertical." Our reviewers mention that Revelstoke excels across all ability levels, though it particularly shines for more experienced riders with its legendary tree skiing, abundant bowls, and off-piste terrain. As expert snowboarder Matthew puts it, "the snow quality, the tree runs, powder stashes everywhere" make this a mountain worth returning to. The resort balances accessibility with adventure, offering efficient lift systems that keep queues manageable even after fresh snowfall, while maintaining that authentic backcountry feel that attracts powder hunters worldwide.

Beyond the incredible skiing, Revelstoke delivers on overall resort quality with excellent facilities and friendly service. Advanced skier Stephanie notes the resort is "laid out incredibly well" with "washrooms or outhouses at the bottom and top of every chairlift as well as warming huts." The mountain maintains its small-town charm while providing high-quality food options – one Snomad community member specifically praised the "smash burgers at McKenzie outpost with a great Begbie cream ale." Users consistently mention the exceptional value compared to larger resorts, with expert snowboarder Austin from Canada pointing out that "lift ticket prices are affordable compared to other resorts like Whistler." This combination of world-class terrain, reliable snow conditions, thoughtful infrastructure, and reasonable pricing creates a complete package that thoroughly justifies Revelstoke's position among the world's elite ski destinations.

Community Review

Revelstoke, Canada

"This is my favourite mountain to ski! It is always an amazing time. The small town has lots of food options and accommodation. The hill is pretty steep which makes it great for snowboarders. It also seems to get the best powder!"

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.
