Skiing

Before you think of going to Revelstoke for skiing, ensure you are fit and in good shape before you attempt the ski hill. But we all cannot be professional skiers, and if you are a beginner like me, make sure that you have given this information at the Revelstoke resort. That way, you will be shown the best terrain to avoid being injured or skiing with experienced people and find that you cannot keep up. One of the famous skiing areas in Revelstoke is the RevelstokeMountain. This is a region that has over 3000 acres of varied skiable terrain. But it has a low number of lifts and defined trails, and the reason being that the resort is new. It is the powder snow, newness and the ample space available that makes Revelstoke a suitable playing ground.
