What Skiers Say About Revelstoke

Revelstoke attracts predominantly advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders seeking deep powder and challenging terrain. Users consistently highlight exceptional tree skiing, long vertical runs, and frequent snowfall that creates excellent off-piste conditions. The resort is praised for minimal lift queues outside peak periods, though gondola waits can exceed 30-40 minutes after fresh snowfall on weekends and holidays. Several reviewers note the limited lift infrastructure for the mountain's size, requiring traverses that challenge snowboarders. Lower elevation runs frequently suffer from warm temperatures and poor snow quality, while upper mountain terrain remains snow-sure. The town is close to the resort but separated, affecting après-ski convenience.

Very fun time coming from someone who mostly skied in the east coast. Lots of snow even when the locals think otherwise. Great runs especially the tree runs and overall super fun with a lot of challenging terrain if thats what your looking for.

Revelstoke is a great place! It is one of the best ski hills I've ever visited. The vibe of revy is amazing, whether it's on the hill or in town. I've visited many times and even if conditions aren't great u can always find good nooks and crannies. Overall, revy is just a great place to ski.

Great day, blessed with weather. Staff are helpful and lines moved quickly. Was a busier day due to local day but lots of room and not much waiting for lifts.

In my opinion the only department lacking is the terrain park. That being said it is still a 5 star resort.

I visited with the ikon pass at the beginning of the season. As such not all the runs were open yet. But I still felt like there was a variety of runs with varying level of difficulty available. The powder was unreal. There were only a few restaurant bars at the base of the mountain for apres ski, but the town was only 5-10 minutes away and had more options. Overall very cute ski town, like out of a Christmas movie, would recommend a visit !

Believe the hype. This massive resort offers world class terrain for even the most advanced of skiers snowboards while also being family- and skill level-friendly for all. The snow quality is great, theres so much acreage and vert youll never get bored here. Plus, the inversions days are a sunny treat to those who make up the hill.

Skied Revy last March. Had to deal with the melt/freeze because the daytime temperatures went up to +16° C. Super long, steep runs and lots of variety. Would love to be there a month earlier. I know they get a ton of snowfall and Revy with winter snowpack would be outstanding. I wouldnt consider this a hill for new skiers because of the advanced terrain so families beware.

Im not going to write too much but being a person who lives in BC I absolutely love revelstoke it has in rivaled powder and is in the interior adjacent to the Rockys so the powder quality is very light and soft. Last year when I went there it was a 8 day trip the food half way up the mountain was really good the homage lemming line was a fun hike and lead to some amazing powder bowls. This mountain has some insane snow records to we had a 45 cm over night snow day and even with that partially due to it being early season the waits for the main chair were no more than 5 minutes, half way through the day that went down to you essentially being able to ski directly into the lift. So ya I give this mountain a 5/5 for its amazing trees unrivalled snow conditions and cheap passes as well as its location and distance form the town.

Revelstoke its the most vertical in the North American, so there plenty of terrain to make you feel like you have the mountain to yourself.
The best thing I found appealing is that it feel like you never do the same line in the one day.
Such great and big adventure are had at Revelstoke mountain resort

Great for tree skiing and powder runs. Old chairs lifts. Groomed runs are not the best with weird layouts in the mountain.

Revelstoke is my favorite resort to ride, its gets an insane amount of snow annually and offers the most vertical in North America even more then whistler so if you can do a top to bottom run at Revy and not stop to rest your in great shape ! Revy in my opinion is not the best resort for beginner riders, its big mountain riding at its finest and offers incredible glade and tree skiing just be careful about tree wells because they are a very real factor with the amount of snow fall they get. The resort is on mount Mackenzie and offers some of the best terrain you can get especially for advanced riders who want to push the envelope. A short hike up from the stoke chair will bring you to the summit of mount Mackenzie and let you drop in at the top of North bowl which is my favourite part of the mountain and the snow is so deep some days you should have a snorkel! I would recommend Revy to anyone it will blow you away and youll definitely come back. Great food and on hill accommodations also make Revy an amazing experience.its a five star resort in my opinion and definitely one of the best places to ride in Canada !

Absolute amazing ski hill Atmosphere is amazing. The runs are so fun the ski lifts to the ski beauty blue bird days above the clouds. When you are above it's a sea of clouds views on Views.

Best experience ever on a ski hill. The village is so close to town. Hands down my favorite hill.

Un limited choices to ride steep runs mid runs chill runs and amazing tree runs and groomed runs to riding the bowl and taking your skill to the next level then taking it easy with some deep deep pow runs. So much to explore.

The hill has availability for all levels of riders.

Revy is Destination for everyone to explore

One of the best resort for powder. Great food nearby. The burger at the Mackenzie out post is a must try, but dont go during lunch time, way too many people. The gondola was a bit silly that you have to get off and switch. The town really is beautiful all year round. The only worry would be the road constantly gets closed due to avalanche danger. Got trapped there a few times

Revelstoke is an amazing resort. Its not over crowded with tourism which makes for a great experience.
There are amazing powder runs, great tree-line runs for both beginner and advanced skiiers and snowboarders.
Revelstoke shares amazing views if you get the opportunity to make the climb and explore the snow bowl in the back country. They offer great customer service, great food, with plenty of areas to take a break and warm up.
Lift time are fast and efficient.
Definitely recommend this resort to try at least once!

Revy is Powder Heaven and has the longest vertical drop in North America! There's only one gondola up from the village to mid-station and then only two 4P chairs to ride...... BUT the inbounds off-piste lines are endless :) Powder quality is exceptional; I've skied there 6 of last 8 seasons and I've never been disappointed!
Easily accessible (bootpacking and/or skinning) backcountry opens up another world of opportunities with some more reasonably accessible shutes. Brown Shorts, Lovers Lane and Door 4 are my favourites. For the more adventurous there are numerous touring routes that give access to some great lines back to resort area.
Within less than an hours drive there are many other touring, backcountry opportunities, notably Rogers Pass and Mt Begbie Fingers.
The only minor downside to Revy is that there's limited apres at the bottom of the hill (Rockford Bar & Mackenzie Tavern), but the town has a lively apres scene, Last Drop, Village Idiot, Chubby Funsters and other bars/restaurants are all lively and offer typical Canadian food and beer from local micro breweries.
