Revelstoke Mountain Resort

Just  got back from an epic trip to Revelstoke Mountain Resort in BC (and yes, I know the meaning of the word epic and I use it here in all its glory). After almost a month of no new snow at the resort (or anywhere in BC for that matter), our arrival coincided with a 10-cm dump the first day, 15 cm the second and a whopping 30 cm on the third. It was the kind of riding people pay $800 a day to cat boarding opeations for — incredible. The mountain is massive, featuring the most vertical in North America, and the tree riding is amazing. We rode natural gullys, tight trees, loose trees, and cat tracks to more trees — and that was just the accessible stuff. The locals were going crazy on the 30-cm days, dropping chutes and lines they had probably been waiting all season for. If you get a chance to head out west for a ski vacation, definitely check this resort out. It’s still pretty mellow, and it’s a neat time to catch it before it becomes a big destination resort.
