Revelstoke Mountain Resort, British Columbia
Every year, more than 8,000 helicopter and snowcat skiers from around the world flock to Revelstoke, British Columbia, attracted by its perfect powder and varied alpine terrain. Now there is another way to ski Revelstoke's Mount Mackenzie - Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Upon completion, the resort will offer more than 20 lifts and over 100 ski and snowboard runs, transforming the area into a world-class destination. The $1-billion, four-season resort will be completed over 15 years and will include over 5,000 new housing units (1,500 resort condominiums, 2,000 hotel suites, 850 townhomes and 550 single-family lots), as well as more than 500,000 square feet of commercial and retail space, plus a signature golf course. With Revelstoke lift skiing, Revelstoke Cat Skiing, and Selkirk Tangiers Helicopter Skiing, Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a one-stop destination for lift, snowcat, and helicopter skiing.
The season is open with 4,735 vertical feet; a new Leitner-Poma high-speed quad lift and eight-passenger gondola; a dedicated beginner slope with new Magic Carpet conveyor lift; a renovated and expanded day lodge with restaurant, deck, retail, and rentals; and 27 gladed and groomed trails, open bowls, and steep chutes. Once additional gondolas and chairlifts are completed in the next few years, Revelstoke will also boast North America's longest vertical descent: 6,000 feet of lift-serviced vertical.
