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 Baldy Mountain Resort - Overall Rating

Baldy Mountain Resort is a hidden gem that our users consistently praise for its powder-filled tree runs and quiet, queue-free slopes. This family-owned mountain delivers a laid-back skiing experience with just two chairlifts, including a brand new quad. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said the park features are "built by riders for riders", while several skiers mention the excellent glades. Perfect for families yet offering terrain for all abilities. The on-site pub and restaurant get solid marks, with one Snomad community member noting they "always have something fun going on" like DJs and local brewery tastings.
