Amazing hill, gets all the snow it claims, no lies here. The glades here are the best I have seen, all the way to the bottom, there is no brush just wide open glade skiing, they really spend a fortune on this. The amenities are excellent and the nightlife, wow, it's off the chart. The locals rip, they had an extreme comp on when I was here, the lads from Squaw, Alta, Whistler and Jackson where nothing on the locals here, the terrain is that rad, and wow are they down to earth as well and not arrogant in the least. Love this place.

Overall, I love skiing Revy, if you want easy groomed blue runs try some of the Okanagan resorts. I live a couple hours away at another resort but I got a pass at Revy last year, which was great, I am still finding new lines especially last year with the great cover. If you don't know the resort you will most likely miss the experience. Ciao

Terrible, no snow and no facilities. Garbage, what a joke, do not waste your money, go to Silver Star for better in every way. Or Big White or Sun Peaks

Was in "Revy" the second week of January. It snowed somewhere near 1.5 metres over the course of 5 days. It was awful. There were no line-ups and friendly locals were kind enough to show me around the mountain. As for the onhill ammenities, they seriously suck but with this much terrain and that much snow who cares? One day RMR may be what it claims to be and that will be when I stop going. It really pays to be in shape before you come here cause you are going to put in some serious vert and will do a fair bit of hiking.

I was there 2 month in 2010 and for the last 2 years it fall much less snow than Whistler. We are far from the 18 feet of snow they claim to received. In 2010, you didn't want to ride the 2/3 of the lower part of the mountain because it was too warm and a small amount of run are groomed. There's only 2 open bowl, if you want more it's backcountry. There is a lot of work to do but I'm sure in 5-10 years it's gonna be a great resort.

I've skied here all winter, every day. This is an awesome mountain with huge, steep terrain. Ok, not everything is easy accessible, but hey dude, that's awesome so there's more stuff for the people willing to earn their turns. I love it here, and I've seen lots of different mountains in this world. All in all, if you guys would all please go to Whistler it's way better there.

Massive hill! Great terrain, especially in a good snow season like this one. Lots and lots of exploring and the occasional hike will reap the rewards. But, do not bring the family; this is not a place for kids. While I was there I saw a couple get run over in the slow zone due to the poor layout, luckily only minor injuries, could of been a lot worse. Sometimes Patrol are watching but generally not. Great place to go with the crew to shred, night life is mediocre at best though, if you have the energy left.

Nice mountain. Not great. Seems to be all the positive comments are Canadians and the negative ones are not. Sounds like Canuck pride. Understand it. This is a very good mountain for skiing, but there are better.

World class heli skiing, right up there with Alaska. That's because the areas around here get the real snow. Mt McKenzie averages 60ft .my ass it does. The terrain is pretty Phlat! Locals can go on all they like about secret stashes etc I spent 6 weeks there skiing with locals everyday and there are some gnarly parts for sure but the average pitch is pretty poor. Heli or hike, or if it's a good snow year (I admit it doesn't happen often) ski the Alps, real actual terrain.
