Brent from Ski France France
I had great expectations arriving at RMR (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) as the hype surrounding this place is huge! Sadly however, it does not back it up. The 1700m of vertical in sort of true, but the 15m of snow they claim is an utter lie. The most they have ever received after 4 years of operation borders nowhere near this total. Worse is the fact the snow is almost maritime due to the high humidity. Sure they get good descent powder (powder is dry, people) sometimes, but it's not often. The terrain, well sure it's better than Big White and pretty much any Canadian resort for that matter, but it's nothing on Europe or the actual steep resorts of the USA. It's still a good hill with some challenging terrain, but don't listen to stories that it's advanced only, my girlfriend was learning to ski and rode the Stoke comfortably on her 3rd day. The fall line is almost non existent with constant traversing required and due to the shape of the mountain almost all runs meet into one which makes riding down to the gondola an average experience (kill the banker and conifers of Gnarnia excluded). The glading of the resort is poor and many forested sections are exactly that. The backcountry is also severly limited and the resort plans to close this to ski pass holders altogether if its court case is won. It can be fun with good snow and when the roads to nearby Vernon and Kelowna are closed (both with atrociously bad ski resorts nearby) but this is not as common as the locals will tell you. I couldn't care less, but for those who do, the resort facilities are nearly non existent and even the ski patrol is heavily understaffed (the hill often fails to open all terrain at 8.30 on powder days, even Fernie with its massive overhangs manages this more often). Anyway, Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a seriously over-rated resort for the advanced skier looking for real powder. Go to Kicking Horse, if that fails Utah or Europe.

Just had one of the most epic powder days in a long long time. My first day ever. The 'Stoke' is all it says it is. I'm a little baffled by some of negative reviews I've read here. Not sure what some people are looking for, if Revy somehow isn't good enough. If ultra long runs in knee deep snow isn't the type of thing you're looking for, I'd suggest staying away. Chances are really good you won't be missed by those who love this place.

Grooming is excellent at RMR. Of course, they didn't groom much in the first week and a half before and after opening! People don't drive all the way to Revy to ski what they can get at Sunshine or Panorama! Now after a few more dumps, they've groomed all the cut runs but even days after pow dumps, you can still find stashes in North Bowl, Greely Bowl, South Bowl, and in the awesome tree runs like Clydes Secret Glades. Yep, not much at the village other than the Rockford Grill -- a great upscale restaurant. Fuel up in the morning at the Modern Bakery in downtown Revy and apres ski head to the Village Idiot in town for beer and dinner. Love ya RMA

Last December at Revelstoke (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) I had the most epic 3 days of boarding in my life. We received a wicked dump and the lack of crowds meant that you could find untracked lines at the end of the day, and even the next! I love the tree runs at Revy. You can just comfortably cruise the long gladed tree runs, and it's steep enough that you don't get stuck if you stop even in the knee deep pow. Can't wait to hit it up this year!

They are too cheap to groom the mountain at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. If you are a powder hound and can ski that way all day - this is the place for you. If not, stay away. The mountain operations are a disaster. Stayed three days and left. Planned on a month stay. A four seasons resort - what a joke. [note from editor: some editing for relevance]

If ski hills were in high school then Revy (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) would be the kid that tries so hard to be cool but just can't seem to get it right. It's got all the right stuff but everyone else knows that it tries way to hard to prove how cool it is. It just feels fake. Maybe in like 20 years, once it finds its own identity rather than trying to piggy back on the rest of the super cool resorts around the powder highway, it might be worth the ridiculous prices they charge

If you enjoy rubbing elbows with smelly Auzzies with STD's, Revy (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) is the town for you! If you like being ripped off at the bar by Wannabees, come visit! Last I checked, Billybob was still "doing" Moon Unit, there's room for all! Unless you think you can rent a room for $300/mo, all in, in which case, you should probably stay home....

It is April 05 and the snow is coming down hard at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Lots of powder and a foot to come in the next two days. It's my fourth trip this year - starting in early December and this is fantastic skiing. Even though the bottom half is closed you can ski all day and do something different every time.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a great hill. We were lucky enough to get a good dump and were able to ski powder all the way down. (mid-March). Stayed at Nelson Lodge and was very impressed with the room and staff. The hill does need more lifts and more glading. My understanding is that a beginner lift is going at the top of the gondola for next year. Also the golf course is also scheduled to start and be functional by 2013. Also the new owners have paid off the debt that was incurred by the previous developer so hopefully the hill is back on schedule.
