Revelstoke Mountain Resort

Skiing Revelstoke

1,713 metres of vertical drop — the longest in North America. From the summit at 2,225m through alpine bowls, subalpine glades, and old-growth cedar forest to 512m. Plus the cat-skiing and heli-skiing capital of Canada.

Terrain by Level

Beginners: Base area has a dedicated learning zone, but Revelstoke is best for intermediate and above. Neighbours Big White and Sun Peaks are more beginner-friendly.

Intermediates: Mid-mountain cruisers through subalpine forest. The Ripper Chair accesses excellent terrain with far less traffic. A single top-to-bottom run takes 20+ minutes.

Advanced: North and South Bowls are vast alpine terrain. Sub-alpine glades hold deep, sheltered powder for days. Cat-skiing and heli-skiing operators run from town. Find a powder guide →

Insider Tips

• Cat-skiing (half-day from ~$450 CAD) is the quintessential Revelstoke experience.
• The town is a real community — independent restaurants, breweries, heritage main street.
• Revelstoke is on the Ikon Pass.
• The Rogers Pass highway can close for avalanche control. Check conditions before driving.
