Best Ski Resort for Snowboarders in Canada: Revelstoke - Snowboarders Rating

Revelstoke is a powder paradise for boarders of all levels. The tree runs and off-piste terrain get consistent praise from our Snomad community. "Best powder I've ever ridden," says Nicholas, an expert snowboarder. The mountain offers plenty to explore with one advanced rider mentioning they "could spend all season" discovering new lines. When the snow falls, it transforms into what Brayden calls "Japan powder but with Canadian mountain terrain." Though the terrain park isn't the main attraction, the natural features more than make up for it. Even on busier days, lift queues move quickly, leaving more time for those epic powder laps.

#2 Marmot Basin - Snowboarders Rating

Marmot Basin is a hit with snowboarders of all abilities. Our users praise the wide open groomers with plenty of space to learn and grow. Lisa, an advanced rider, raves about the Knob chair being "UNREAL" on powder days, while the tree areas offer serious fun when conditions are right. The mountain layout allows riders of different levels to stick together, with routes that connect at various points. As Tyler notes, "Almost never had to wait for a lift line, additionally there was always a place on the hill you can find with no one on it." For the adventurous, there are even off-piste opportunities for untouched powder.

#3 Big White - Snowboarders Rating

Big White is a snowboarder's paradise, with terrain that caters to all abilities. Our Snomad community members rave about the exceptional tree runs and legendary powder. Liam, an expert rider, describes night snowboarding as "a magically romantic experience" while Avyn loves the "champagne powder" that's "amazing on a powder day." The mountain offers excellent variety – from wide groomers for beginners to challenging off-piste for experts. The convenience of ski-in/ski-out accommodation across the resort is a huge plus for boarders. Even when the lower mountain gets tracked out, Lisa, an advanced rider, notes you can "still find some great powder and lines through trees" higher up.
