Best Ski Resort in British Columbia: Revelstoke - Overall Rating

Revelstoke is a powder paradise that serious riders won't stop raving about. Our Snomad community members consistently highlight the incredible tree runs and off-piste terrain, with one advanced snowboarder calling it "the resort to go to when Powder falls." The mountain offers super long runs with stunning Canadian landscapes and uncrowded slopes. While not ideal for complete beginners, intermediate and expert riders will find their paradise here. As one user who's an expert skier mentioned, "You can escape into either the North Bowl or Greely and ski in fresh powder all day." The frequent powder days and efficient lifts make this a must-visit for powder hunters.

#2 Red Mountain - Overall Rating

Red Mountain is a hidden gem in the Kootenays that delivers incredible skiing without the crowds. Our reviewers mention that it's known for some of the best tree skiing in North America, with endless powder opportunities across its three mountains. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said it offers "insane runs" where you can "always find powder." The mountain's layout allows you to ski 360° around each peak, with most tree areas conveniently funneling back to groomed runs. Despite its smaller size compared to major resorts, Red's charm lies in its short lift lines, family-friendly atmosphere, and the legendary Rafters bar for après—making it truly "the most fun you can have with your clothes on."

#3 SilverStar - Overall Rating

SilverStar is a hidden gem that packs a punch. Our users love the friendly atmosphere and short lift queues despite the excellent terrain variety. One Snomad community member liked that it offers "Whistler quality mountain and accommodations, without all the people." The tree runs are consistently praised as "legendary," while the backside double blacks offer thrilling challenges for advanced riders. The village features ski-in/ski-out access, with Buggaboos Café highlighted for its mid-ski refreshments. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said the resort feels like "home away from home" with great signage making navigation easy. Even in lighter snow years, you can always find good conditions.
