Revelstoke Mountain Resort
A ski resort with North America’s largest vertical drop of 1,713 meters, known for deep powder and challenging runs. In summer, a gondola takes visitors up the mountain.
The resort lies on Mackenzie Mountain, about 5 km south of the town. It opened in 2007. Its 1,713-meter vertical drop is the largest in North America. Heavy snowfall and high-quality powder in winter, together with runs that are mostly intermediate and advanced, including tree runs and bowl terrain, make it a pilgrimage site for skiers. It is also the departure point for snowcat skiing and heli-skiing. Beginners have a dedicated gentle slope area and a ski school. In summer, the red Revelation gondola carries visitors up to Midway Station, where you can hike, ride mountain bikes or look out over the Columbia River valley. There is also the Pipe Mountain coaster at the base. The village at the base has hotels and restaurants, or you can stay in town, with free shuttles running in winter. Lift ticket prices vary by date, and buying online in advance is cheaper.
