This is an awesome mountain. The tree skiing is very tight and the "glades" would be considered forests in the US.
If you get a week with snow you will have fresh powder all day every run. Not a lot for lower level skiers, but it was awesome for higher level skiing.

Cannot beat the vertical for the price, however it is not easy to get to from the States, a 3 hour drive from Kelowna which is the nearest airport. The mountain was empty so no lines but there are only 4 lifts! There are very limited runs for more than a weekend of skiing, Great GS if you are into that but few moguls. Good powder with a short hike. There are no altitude or attitude issues.
Overall, not worth the long trek from the States at this time, with more development of the slopes should mature nicely. We went heli 2 days with Eagle Pass and so that made the long trip worth while.

My second year back to Revelstoke. Can't say anything negative about the skiing. We had great conditions and lots of powder the whole week. I'm from Ontario so left my skis back home and rented from this great shop in town, "Powder Rentals". Got some great "pow-boards" cheaper than at the hill. Check them out. Cheers

Great weather! Everyone was saying how there was rarely "blue bird" days up at Revelstoke. But we had them! Bummer it snowed 30cm the day we left. Still had a great time!

Huge vertical. The runs go on forever. Incredible snow. We were there for 3 days and it snowed continuously. The downside of that is the skiing can be challenging for intermediate skiers on steep terrain (which there is a lot of) and chewed up powder, or in steep and deep glades. Revelstoke seems to do very little grooming. At this point it seems to cater more to advanced than intermediate skiers.

We spent 5 days on the hill, the conditions were great! This is the best glade skiing we've experienced. Don't worry if it's raining in town because it will be snowing on the hill!

we were cat skiers in the past but had not been to the resort to see how they had managed the development. we enjoyed the mountain tremendously- they have done a very nice job of covering the mountain with just one gondola and a couple of lifts. we were blessed with some excellent powder- both in and out of the trees.

We had a great day of skiing in december 2010. Make sure you dress warm at this elevation. Not much to do at the mountain, but the city is very close
