Best Ski Resort for Advanced Skiers in Canada: Revelstoke - Advanced Rating 4.66

Revelstoke shines for advanced riders, with terrain that'll make your heart race. One Snomad community member called it "the resort to go to when Powder falls" with "the best off-piece terrain in Canada." The mountain delivers incredible tree skiing that advanced riders rave about - as Abrahm notes, you can find amazing powder stashes even days after a snowfall. From steep chutes to epic bowls, Revy rewards those willing to explore. As Anna, an advanced skier, puts it: "Even a bad day at Revy is a PHENOMENAL day." It's no wonder so many users consider it their absolute favourite mountain.

#2 Red Mountain - Advanced Rating 4.60

For advanced skiers and snowboarders, Red Mountain is an off-piste paradise. One Snomad community member liked that "you can ski off the top in any direction" while another mentioned it's "ranked 4 in North America by powder magazine for some of the best tree skiing." The terrain offers incredible variety with multiple mountains to explore. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said, "So many areas to get into the trees and rarely do you get stranded as most tree areas funnel back to groomed runs." The mountain's cat skiing option for just $20 provides access to exceptional powder without the crowds, making it a dream for powder hunters.

#3 SilverStar - Advanced Rating 4.51

For advanced skiers and snowboarders, SilverStar delivers serious thrills without the crowds. Our users particularly rave about the legendary tree runs, with one advanced skier saying they've "skied SilverStar for many years and it's never boring." The back side offers challenging double blacks that advanced riders can progress to, while the terrain park gets consistently high praise. A Snomad community member who's an advanced snowboarder called it "a BC secret with every level terrain and great snow." Even on busier days, the mountain's layout spreads skiers out nicely, meaning you can often find yourself alone on a run.
