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.

Amazing terrain for advanced intermediates and up. You can easily find some of the gnarliest inbounds terrain anywhere in North America. Powder is generally plentiful and you can keep finding fresh tracks for days. The lift infrastructure is simple but as theres only one way out of the base kt can bottleneck on powder days. But generally crowds are non existent. Not the best resort for beginners or families but terrain expansion is looking to change that. Overall its a gem with limited crowds and relatively affordable big mountain skiing. The town is awesome with virtually no chains and all locally owned businesses and restaurants.

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.

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!

At this point theres not a lot of on mountain accommodations to choose from and what there is can be a bit pricey. Plus once the lifts close for the day it pretty quiet up there. I stayed in the town of Revelstoke with a quick shuttle to the mountain. What an awesome ski town, everything youll need with a great vibe.
If youre looking for the steep and the deep then this is the place. Great snow and tree skiing
One for the Bucket List for sure!!!

Revelstoke has some awesome terrain and incredible tree runs. There was an extra terrain park with beginner features only which I loved and the lifts were quick with no queues!

Revelstoke is by far one of the best resorts in Canada and well worth paying a visit. The snow is great all year round and has the best tree runs of any mountain Ive been to. The runs are super long with loads of cashes of powder as well as many groomed runs to end the day off. The parks there are pretty good Ive definitely seen better but the rest of the mountain makes up for it.

Revelstoke is so iconic for a reason. Catch this place on a powder day and you will find out quickly. So much cool terrain for the more bold riders to progress on. And if you like groomers, there is one all the way to the bottom of the mountain and I can guarantee that you will be pooped but the end of it.

Revelstokewhat a place! Home to some of the deepest turns of my life and what is surely some of the best ´in bounds skiing on the planet.
If youre into tree skiing, this is the spot for you with thousands of acres of gladed terrain.
A short hike up to Sub peak gives you amazing views of the surrounding area and lots of option on the way down. Theres plenty of easy access to slack country terrain either side of the resort once things start getting tracked.
I wouldnt recommend Revy to beginners as the majority of the runs are steep and often un groomed. Also, a heads up to snowboarders, theres lots of traversing around the resort back to lifts at the bottom of runs.
As the resort is a short drive from town, there isnt really an après seen at the bottom of the hill like you might find in Europe. There are however, plenty of good bars and restaurants in town to enjoy post ski.

I was thoroughly impressed with the terrain at Revelstoke. We came early season so there wasnt a ton open, but it had the best snow in Canada and all the resorts we had skied so far. The expert terrain was amazing and the amount of easy access cliff drops was mind blowing. I felt like I was in the air more than I was on the ground. And the landings were killer too! Overall a phenomenal resort and I will be back.
