About the Resort
About Revelstoke
Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) in British Columbia is a legendary mecca for serious skiers and snowboarders. Since its massive expansion in 2007, it has proudly claimed the title of North America's greatest vertical drop at an astounding 1,713 meters. While the resort base itself features modern, comfortable amenities, the nearby historic town of Revelstoke maintains an authentic, rugged mountain town vibe, full of local character and charm.
The Resort
Known for its deep, consistent powder and steep, challenging terrain, Revelstoke is an absolute paradise for powder hounds. With 3,121 acres of skiable terrain, it offers wide-open alpine bowls, perfectly spaced glades, and long, winding groomers. It is also completely unique in the ski world for being the only resort to offer lift, cat, heli, and backcountry skiing right from a single village base.
While the mountain heavily caters to advanced and expert riders seeking thrilling fall lines, recent additions like the Stellar Chair have vastly improved access for beginners and intermediates. However, its true calling card remains the massive snowfall and high-alpine freeride zones that attract thrill-seekers and big-mountain enthusiasts from across the globe.
On the Mountain
Revelstoke is famous for its massive vertical, deep snow, and steep, sustained fall lines. The terrain is heavily skewed towards advanced and expert riders, featuring massive alpine bowls, incredible tree skiing, and cliff drops. While intermediates can enjoy endless groomers like the 15km 'Last Spike', the resort truly shines for off-piste enthusiasts and freeriders seeking a backcountry feel.
Columbia Mountains, British Columbia
Nestled between the Selkirk and Monashee mountain ranges, this region is famous for its unique microclimate that delivers abundant, incredibly dry powder snow.
