Never in all of my years have I experienced such a poor ski hill. The beer was not cold enough and the snow was meird. The gondola ride was far too short and I was unable to finish my lunch of bread and escargots. I wish I had stayed in Europe so when I complain and moan I would not be alone. I am going to join in on the rant that Revelstoke (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) does get the snow they claim because I'm an expert and was there for 5 whole days! I'm going back to France. I hate Revelstoke.

Revelstoke (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) is a place where, if you want the best, you're gonna have to earn your turns, but that's what I love about it. Your not going to catch any snowboarders snowplowing or any skiers pulling a pizza down the nice deep powder chutes or bowls! After the snow stops, which it hardly does, you can still find turns for weeks. Always parties in town, great pubs and awesome locals! Go support the Revelstoke grizzles if the are playing while you're there. One more, most resorts are named for the town and not the mountain the resort is on. Peace out

Just got back from 'Revy' as it's known locally. What a blast! Lots of snow, and I mean lots! 5 days of bliss. Great trees, some nice groomers and dry terrain up top. This is a big mountain baby! We didn't bring our skis with us as we are from Ontario, so we rented from a place in Revelstoke called ' Revelstoke Powder Rentals'. This guy hooked us up big-time. Top of the line Salomon equipment at an amazing price and super job on the tuning. Would come back here in a heartbeat.

Haven't been in a while but there's generally a lot of snow (can be very wet) due to it's location near the Rockies where clouds dump their moisture. As others have pointed out, if you're looking for the ski-in/out resorts, resort-town life, nightclubs etc head for Whistler instead! Revelstoke (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) is a working class town that just recently got expensive because of speculation related to RMR so give the locals a break. My one pet peeve: Revelstoke Mountain Resort is not actually on Mt Revelstoke which is a National Park. You're really skiing on Mount Mackenzie!

For all of you complaining, maybe you should have done some more exploring. The snow, trees & cliff drops are second to none. I've been here all season and I still haven't discovered the whole mountain. Can't wait till RMR's (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) master plan is complete!

Over rated. True, Rome wasn't built in a day but Rome started with some decent planning and leadership! This place is not that steep and I agree with the comment below: powder is dry! Revy (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) gets a bit of snow, but powder!There are some cliffs and it's better than most Canadian hills as they are generally built because there is a town nearby, not because it's a great place for a skill hill. This, I hoped, was an exception and yeah, it's better but it's not amazing. It's pretty sweet if you love throwing 3's under the chair but there is a serious lack of advanced terrain and the glading is poor. Most of all, 18m of snow a year! That's not true.

Revelstoke (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) is the kind of hill that you want to keep as a secret. Like a hidden fishing whole with monster trout. The truth is Revelstoke gets huge dumps, has short lines and long runs. This is not a groomer hill at all and the only reason they run the cats over anything is to avoid having 10 foot tall moguls. Do yourself a favor and rent the widest skis you can get your hands on. Another tip: don't explore too much in the trees without a local as you will likely find yourself at the top of a XL cliff.

Those of you who are complaining about rmr (Revelstoke Mountain Resort), yeah, good on you. Waist deep pow, cliffs, chutes, great grooming (they get what they can done with the cats they have. Cats are expensive and let's see you dish up for a brand new winch Cat. They cost more than $123 y'know). Tons of steep fall-line terrain (you can traverse if you want. You can also pee on an electric fence or stick a fork in a socket if you want too). True, not much in the way of beginner terrain but there are more chairs on the way. Seriously, what do you people expect!? Rome wasn't built in a day so how do you think you will go from a small one chair resort (with cat skiing up top only) to a super developed world class resort in 3 years? There are a lot of dumb comments on here and those of you who dis rmr are truly as intelligent as a diaper with a dead fish on it covered in burnt hair. For those of you who love it like me, lets go have a pint of Begbie at the local pub and talk of white room face shots and how legendary snowboarders and skiers choose to call this place home. Love, Jerry the cowboy.

This resort (Revelstoke Mountain Resort), in my opinion of course, is very over-rated. Sure it has some good runs and can have good powder days, however, it is far from a world-class resort. If you are looking for a top notch mountain resort, do not be fooled by the hype and plan your ski vacation to RMR (Revelstoke Mountain Resort).

RMR (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) is the real deal. Great snow. Great town. Great terrain. Small lines. Kicking Horse is alright, but it lines up like a water park on weekends and the gondola + Stairway chair do not service enough terrain. Anyway don't come. You wouldn't like it... ; )
