Why Revelstoke is Highly Rated for Snowboarders

Revelstoke has picked up the bronze award for Best Resorts for Snowboarders - Worldwide with a staggering 4.81/5.00 rating. The mountain delivers an exceptional combination of terrain perfectly suited to riders of all levels. Experienced snowboarders rave about the incredible powder conditions – Austin, an expert snowboarder, calls it his favourite mountain to ride with "the best runs and beautiful views." The resort's unique landscape offers what Shawnee describes as "pretty steep terrain which makes it great for snowboarders," while the legendary tree runs provide endless opportunities for powder hounds. A Snomad community member who's an expert snowboarder mentions that Revelstoke gets "Japan powder but with Canadian mountain terrain" – a combination that's hard to beat anywhere in the world.

The mountain's true draw lies in its natural features, deep powder, and what Brenno calls "the best inbounds powder tree skiing in Canada" with "relatively light powder" that's "unbeatable." The boarder culture here is refreshingly authentic – the town maintains a small-town vibe rather than feeling like a tourist trap, as Matthew points out. The vertical drop (the longest in North America) means you can find countless unique lines and rarely ride the same route twice. Blake, another expert snowboarder, loves that "it feels like you never do the same line in one day" – a testament to the mountain's incredible variety and appeal to snowboarders seeking fresh challenges every run.
