Snowboarding (and skiing for you 2 legged monsters) on a\u00a0snow covered slope of a mountain is a very happy place to be during the winter season.

Lets get one thing straight right off the hop.\u00a0It is epic!\u00a0Revelstoke Mountain\u00a0boosts the greatest vertical in North America measuring at 1713 metres (5260 feet for our American friends) and it is the ONLY resort world-wide to offer lift, cat, heli and back-country <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/gondola.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7446 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/gondola.jpg\" alt=\"Revelstoke Snowboarding &amp; Skiing\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/gondola.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/gondola-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>skiing from one village base! Woot! Woot!<\/p>\n<p>We were fortunate enough to\u00a0spend some quality time this\u00a0ski season to document the hill. And it is was easy to do too because the mountain village is located only 10 minutes from the town centre of Revelstoke, BC where we were staying. \u00a0Unlike other hills we have visited where it can take hours to get on the slopes, the travel time from bed to lift in Revelstoke was\u00a0a welcomed surprise. Heck, the sooner on the hill the better, right?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/ski.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7448 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/ski.jpg\" alt=\"Revelstoke Snowboarding &amp; Skiing\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/ski.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/ski-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Revelstoke Snowboarding &amp; Skiing Mountain Resort provides 3121 acres of fall line skiing, high alpine bowls, gladed terrain, and some of the best tree runs in the country. On almost every\u00a0groomed run there are so many opportunities to veer off into a swath a trees and get stoked while\u00a0zig-zagging around\u00a0nature&#8217;s pylons. Being tree run enthusiasts we thought we died and went to snowboarding heaven!<\/p>\n<p>In total there are over 65 runs covering the north and east side of Mount McKenzie\u00a0&#8211;\u00a07% beginner (green), 45% intermediate (blue) and 47% advanced (black). The longest run is 15.2 kilometres!

The Revelation Gondola (2 part) takes you to mid mountain and to\u00a0Revelation\u00a0Lodge. From\u00a0the lodge, the second section of the gondola\u00a0takes you 2\/3rds up the hill to the beginning of some of the\u00a0ski\u00a0trails and to the Stoke Chair.<\/p>\n<p>Once departing the gondola a\u00a0short ski trail\u00a0connects you\u00a0to\u00a0the Stoke Chair which takes you up to the top of the mountain and the beginning of the majority of\u00a0blue and black ski runs. The Stoke Chair summits out at 2225 metres (7300 feet). To access the other side of the mountain where the Ripper Chair is located one must take a short walk along a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/village.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7449 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/village.jpg\" alt=\"Revelstoke Snowboarding &amp; Skiing \" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/village.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ehcanadatravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/village-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>trail after exiting\u00a0the\u00a0Stoke Chair.<\/p>\n<p>During and after an epic day of snowboarding and skiing there are many eateries to satisfy your hunger and thirst. The McKenzie Outpost \u00a0(top of gondola) is a small coffee shop\/snack\u00a0bar\u00a0with an outdoor patio. The Revelation\u00a0Lodge (mid mountain) is the main lodge with lots of seating, a cafeteria and a pub. The Rockford Bar &amp; Grill is\u00a0a\u00a0restaurant and pub with a diverse menu. (village base).<\/p>\n<p>Ski lift tickets can be purchased at the village base, online and from select vendors in the community. The Revelstoke Snowboarding &amp; Skiing Mountain Resort also provides\u00a0on-mountain accommodations (Sutton Place Hotel), ski lessons, snow school, group programs, day spa and a ski shop.<\/p>\n<p>Because the mountain is so large we experienced little\u00a0line ups, we often had the tree\u00a0runs\u00a0to ourselves and on almost every occasion\u00a0we\u00a0took in\u00a0amazing scenery.
