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.

Revelstoke has got to be one of the most magical mountain resorts I've ever been to! There's so many different runs to take. One day at the resort is not enough time to get to all of the runs. When I went it, it was snowing at the top, foggy in the middle and raining closer to the base. Coolest experience I've ever had snowboarding. I'm honestly counting down the days I can to back and spend 4 days out there. It was truly amaaaazing!!!!!!

Highest vertical of any resort in North America. Limited lifts, but somehow an incredible amount of rideable terrain. As a snowboarder, this means lots of traversing - it is definitely a ski-focused resort. Runs are steep, and can get seriously moguled-up. But the snow and tree runs, the countless bowls, and endless back country make up for it. Will delight even the most experienced skiers and riders. Breathtaking.

My favourite ski resort in Canada! The off piste and bowls are the best there is! It is also very quiet compared to other ski resorts in Canada (Banff, Whistler). Revelstoke is a small town so not many accommodation options

If you are an expert skier who loves skiing powder in the glades, Revelstoke is for you. I dont know if we were lucky, but we had 3 days of snow and 4 bluebird days, so that we only skied powder! Skiing was out focus, not après-ski or eating out so I cannot comment on it. We shared a large house without another family. It was not in the resort, but very little is. There first day, I was concerned that there was only one lift from the base, but this was never a problem.

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.
