Love revelstoke great for powder and trees. There is endless terrain for all levels and great back-country access.

We visited in a "low snow" season, so criticism of the conditions would be unfair. The resort did a great job of keeping most of the upper mountain open and provided a daily mix of groomed and ungroomed. I was most impressed, however, with the training area. I've never seen a training area that was so well suited to progressive training - from rank beginner to upper intermediate/lower advanced. Right within the training area is "mock" off-piste terrain with gullies, small cliffs, short spans of steeper pitches, and trees. I've never seen anything like it. A great place to learn or practice new skills w/o worrying about getting lost or being over-faced.

Revelstoke is one of my favourite ski resorts in the world (and Ive been to many). Even on a bad day, its still good. Powder days are unreal - there may be a lineup for the gondola up the mountain, but once past that, the lines move fairly quickly. Both staff and other riders are really friendly and helpful. It is definitely a more advanced mountain, and would be enjoyed more by people who already have a solid basis for their skiing/snowboarding, as there is not much beginner terrain. Overall, I would highly recommend Revy.

Its a great hill fun for everybody. The powder gets skied off in the first hour if youre not a expert skier.

Hitting revelstoke is a great experience for both the novice and professional alike. Lots of versatility being that they have lots of challenging terrain and one of the longest green runs Ive been on for those learning the ropes. The snow is always great and its easy having a good time on this mountain with how tall their vertical is so it takes a good amount of time to get down the mountain. The sites are one of a kind and theres tons to do and explore. If you havent been here definitely check it out, you wont regret it.

I enjoyed my first visit to this hill. My review is based on the conditions at the time and the fact that I'm not familiar with the hill. I have yet to see all the mountain. The price is nuts, definitely need a discount card next time. The parking lots need help, and better access to and from vehicles. The lodges seem nice, but the lineup to get tickets was terrible. Staff are very friendly though. 5* for the friendly staff!

Revelstoke is not for the faint of heart with its vertical! I think it's heaven for borders and skiers alike. There was fresh powder every time I've skied there. Spectacular runs, views and the vibe from skiers and boarders is awesome. (I bought a new skis for that mountain). The town may be small but it has plenty of shops to browse in. The locals are friendly as could be, and tho dining out can be crowded and there may be a bit of a wait, the food is worth it. There is plenty of accomodation in town but it can fill up fast on those weekends during peak season, especially after a collossl snow fall that Revy is famous for. It is by far my favourite ski destination. Go, you will not be disappointed!

Revelstoke offers some of the best tree skiing and glades, filled with fabulous snow. Its an endurance hill with long runs, and plenty of steeps. So much fun to explore.

The glades are endless. The runs are all super long with really great varied terrain for every level of skier. Some back country type access from a short boot pack into awesome bowls, again endless terrain. Only 2 chairlifts service the entire top 2 areas, but with so much (vast) terrain you never see a line up. . Very groovy ski town and vibe Revvy is Ski mecca!
