Reviews of Revelstoke Mountain Resort (Scrap Yards)

Leticia Calderon

It’s one of awesome ski resorts. If you don’t have ski stuffs and thinking to rent them, you need to know everything is down before taking gondola up to the sub peak. Don’t make our mistake. The price of taking just gondola to the top is $25. There is a stop in between the way, the second gondola goes higher to sub peak. There is a cafeteria in top which has a great view if you’re looking for seating and enjoy your coffee or bear. From sub peak there are two ski zone which one of them goes to chair lift station for going up to to main peak. The other one is slow zone in opposite direction.

One of the best ski resorts I have ever been at. The snow has a great quality and you have a variety of slopes to choose from.

longest line up for a gondola on the planet. One lift from base , two chair on top , not counting the children's lift they built....haven't built anything for real skiiers since they "bought " the mountain years ago. close early every year now and blame it on covid . have to be vaccinated to ride the lifts but not stay at the hotel.... safety measures and reduced gondola rules have been abandoned as the vaccine is apparently 100 percent effective.

Everything was open and other than having a shortage of snow on the lower slopes, it was great. Our 2 bedroom suite with den was lovely.

Due to inclement weather and clouds socking-in the upper elevations, we did not have an opportunity to ride the gondolas at Banff or Jasper, so this was our last opportunity. It was a blue sky day and we were able to buy our tickets on the spot with only a short wait to ride. The parking lot is large and it is free to park, as you park with the resort guests. It was early enough so that the lines were not too long yet. The Revelstoke Gondola is at the Revelstoke Mountain Resort, but non-guests like us could ride as well. We enjoyed the ride up and the view of the town and the river with the mountains behind was very nice. We were a teeny bit disappointed that the gondola only went halfway up the mountain, or at least that appeared to be the case. There is also a 'pipe' ride available, where one rider sits in an open car which straddles a pipeline, as it runs down the mountain side. This is a separate admission from the gondola, or you can buy a combo package. You may also choose to buy a package that includes the gondola ride and breakfast in a special dining room away from the gondola equipment. This is where the restrooms up there are. Bring a jacket as it can be breezy at the gondola area. And the sun is intense so sunscreen might be important as well.

My bf and I love this resort. We have been in the summer and in the first weeks of winter and both were spectacular. We love the restaurants on site (get a burger at mackenzie outpost), the gondola and the PIPE MOUNTAIN COASTER (it's a must). We will definitely be back (again).

Chris Schuler

Great place to have a lot of fun with friends and family. Quite a number of activities to be enjoyed during the summer, I highly recommend checking the mountain coaster. It's a bit if a short ride but it's an experience.

Francois b

Love the rail coaster, the views, the beer, and the staff were awesome. I cant wait to go back. I would highly suggest the day pass, even if you don't get to do it all.

coreyykk

We spent nearly a week here and it still didn't feel like we ran out of things to do (or beautiful scenery) - very worth the long long drive out from Calgary. Bit too many moghuls by mid-day but they were soft, powder moguls so can't really complain :D

Muhammed Suhel

Visit was in late July. Summer activities seem pretty good. We did the mountain coaster which was a blast. A bit pricey at $29/person/ride, but acceptable. Mountain bikers seemed very happy. Would definitely like to revisit in the winter for skiing.

Alba Rjas

We did the pipe mountain coaster ! It was fun but short. I personaly think that it's more worth it if you take a pass for the days & Do the others activities.

Charlie C

They need a better system to speed up their line to get tickets. We got our tickets online and we had to wait for over an hour. I don’t understand why they don’t have kiosk, online check or event express line or something… hopefully management reads and makes the changes! It’s 2021!!

AJ DL

Great experience with the gondola and pipe coaster. Axe throwing was awesome. Qr code is for Ariel Trek booking time.

Iris Ph

Wow!! Incredible views, exciting little coaster ride, and the friendliest people. Fully worth spending a day. Pack a lunch or enjoy the restaurants but definitely take the gondola to the top and try the coaster!

Steven Kravitsky

Revelstoke is the best hill I’ve ever done. So many trails of great variety. Some amazing snow for sure on this hill!

Shyan Mason

Best place for family, bikers and adventurous people. Place was neat and clean l.. All the staffs are super friendly.

Jessica B

Revelstoke Mountain Resort was a fun place to spend a summers day. There is plenty to enjoy and the staff are all friendly and accommodating. If i have any complaint it would be that there was very limited relief from the sun. We had to sit on the ground to be in the shade. Otherwise it was great!

Tammy Ward

Wish that all day pass was really all day but they're limited to very few number of uses like 2 times on Pipe (which is the best experience for me).

Robin Eldred

Awesome ski resort! So many glades and deep powder in the North Bowl! View is unbelievable from every angle! The smell of evergreen is so invigorating! Longest diamond runs from top of the peak (2250m) to the base of the mountain (500m)! I do wish that there are more affordable lodging options and restaurants around the resort to enhance the apres ski experience. Bottom line: the mountains are gorgeous, snow amazing, highly recommend!

Fairy Wings

I visited this place in July and again in September. It was packed in July and had to wait 2 hrs to get into pipe mountain coaster. It was empty in September. I recommend to visit this place in late summer. Do visit Williamson lake near Revelstoke Mountain resort.

Dena Holloway

One of the best resorts I've been too so much fun in the trees! Wish they had a park this year!

Alexa Freudigmann

It rained all day on our 1st day which washed away the snow below the 1st gondola. Visibly was very poor. Once the rain stopped and the snow came on our 2nd day things improved a little with some fresh powder on the off-piste among the trees. We found the area to have a dissapointing layout - the back bowl access is less than ideal especially when visability is poor which, if the snow record is accurate, is probably most of the time. There was a brief spell of clear sky on our 3rd day when we could see our surroundings which were stunning. To us the area has the feel of a place in need of significant development and isn't quite there yet. It's OK for a 1 or maybe 2 day visit at most. A good skier or boarder could cover the entire area in half a day so a little boring from a terrain perspective.

Tony Jedlovsky

Great mountain, snow conditions were excellent, good experience. There are many great ski trails/slopes but careful as they’re also several avalanche areas and difficult trails. Also, beware there may be delays in travels to/from Revelstoke due to avalanche control on the 1. Enjoy!

Darren Gour

This was our absolute favorite mountain to go to during our trip to the Canadian Rockies. The addition of the new Stellar chair made it much easier to traverse to go between the Stoke and Ripper chairs. This is definitely a mountain to stay at if you want to get in some great glade runs or have the itch to ride some fresh pow. The mid mountain lodge was a bit small but the food they served was great! We had to go at weirder times to be able to find a seat for a large group of people.

CR Travelbug

We planned our trip around this attraction. When we got to the mountain we were told it would be a 4 hour wait, and that the trail ride down was 5 minutes. The website talks about first come first serve, might want to add a disclaimer on average wait times! Plus rain was in the forecast for about the end if the wait time! We had to pass as sitting around for 4 hours was not in our plans

dejager420

Great place to visit worth the long travel, we’ve enjoyed each hours we’re in the place. Mountain bike trail are awesome would definitely comeback here soon ????

Dan Popovici

Great runs. Fun groomed trails and glades. Helpful staff in the retail shop at the base. Cheeseburger at the cafe mid mountain was delicious. Great views

Liam

They have got several activities there. It's safe for kids also. But it's busy always. So better book your tickets in advance which is also gets you discounted prices. and you can go for refunding if you don't use it. The pipe coaster is a must try one.

Stéphanie Lachance

Great mountain biking and skiing/snowboarding

Christine Chan

Sadly there on a smokey day this summer but enjoyed it anyways. Gondola ride was fun and lots of small hikes from there. Sadly we couldn't use the multiple vantage points to see anything. We took the coaster down which was fun - one of our 5 went a bit slow since it was her first time and of course everyone wanted to go again. They really should offer another ride at a decent rate right after you get down I suspect they'd have a lot of takers. $150 for another 5 min ride just too steep. Finally had a great lunch at the restaurant. Daughter visited gift shop and despite a lot on sale no great deals. Some inexpensive tshirts to commerorate visit would be good. All and all a good stop on our return from Kelowna broke up trip nicely.

Greg Valdez

TLDR: Powder capital, best ski in Canada. There really isn’t anything to hate about Revelstoke. The snow is always in abundance, the powder soft fresh and silky smooth, the moguls soft, and the groomed trails are packed with a punch. Only downside is the lower mountain trails, especially the ones connecting the lower Stoke terminal to the Gondola mid-station and the base. These trails are always relatively to extremely unmaintained, and even if they say they are opened, they can have so much exposed grass and rock it appears ridiculous that anyone with common sense would still believe it is “open”. Besides that, the small mountain in addition to the remoteness of this mountain and its corresponding town allows for a fun, awesome, quiet, and line-free experience without the crowds of Lake Louise or Banff Sunshine. 12/10 would recommend.

Brennen Keast

Great powder and glades that you can slay all day. My only complaints are that their are too many cat tracks and traverses due to lack of lifts. Also save your legs and take the gondola down at the end of the day, that section isn’t that good to ski

Bad Lazarus

One of the best hills in North America, great snow, great views and a wonderful place to enjoy winter.

J. Scott

Such a fun place if you are a outdoor lover! We loved mountain coaster, aerial and hike! Great ideas to utilize the resort during the summer! I liked they take a picture before and during the pipe coaster and can purchase for $10 either data or printed. You can bring some snacks and have a picnic too. Parking is not too far and was free. Great place for older kids too!

Rosalie Gavillet

So much to do! The staff all over the resort were fantastic! Informative, and accommodating!

Selina Yang

Revy is The best place I have ever skied! It's huge, yet quaint. It's gnarly, steep, and full of powdery pillow lines! If you are an advanced to expert skier this place needs to be on your bucket list! The views are also STUNNING!

Elliot Huang

Very busy but worth it. The Rollercoaster is fantastic. Get the day pass and pay attention to your ticket number for the pipe so you don't wait around all day. The are throwing and gondola is also great.

Shane Walton

Driving here at the end of summer instead of winter. The view up top is beautiful. There are some activities to do here for travelers, family and kids. We did the lift up to the top and then went down the mountain with the pipe mountain coaster. It was quite fun. Remember to book online on their website as the price is cheaper online ($20 for 1 instead of $25 if you book in person). Also, note that online purchases must be made by midnight the evening prior to your activity date.

Dan Traviss

I don't now how to start writing the amazing day that I had at Revelstoke Mtn. It was a unique experience, great staff, nice lodge and common areas (services. The runs are incredibles, amazingly beautiful and fun!!! Lots of tree runs and 2 big bowls to enjoy the beauty of the back country inbounds. Beautiful views and such and amazing snow, fresh powder all around. I can't wait to be back!

jean-pierre meloche

Definitely a place to visit. The Pipe coaster is sooo much fun, the Aerial park is well designed and easy enough for us parents who want to tag along with our teens. My kids loved the rock wall and we all did the free fall from the 4th story. The ax throwing was quite fun and something we'd never done before. We also tried the disk golf, something new for us as well but bring mosquito repellent. We got eaten up alive, lol The second Gondola ride up the mountain is just breathtaking!! We are not hikers per say but there is amazing hicking happening at the top of the mountain. Overall we had the best of time and we'll worth the expense for a family of 5. We purchased the all day pass. We liked that we were able to leave back to our campground for lunch and come back. And ALL the staff throughout the area are friendly and helpful!! Thank you staff????

Pooneh Haghighi

Always have an amazing time here. The longest run in north America (6.7km). The most epic off lift areas. Beautiful hotel and dining is always a treat. During COVID, the resort's staff have been diligent to ensure public safety. They're still as friendly as ever, but they've done a great job of keeping guests and staff safe.

Virginia Jacob

Amazing glades, awesome snow with lots of powder, challenging terrain. Gets crowded on the weekends and holidays. Super fun runs off ripper with lots of little drops. Unfortunately a lot of long flat cat tracks. Main downside is the small mid mountain huts, no tables available inside forcing you to eat in your lap / on the bench.

gilbert beltran

Definitely one of the best mountains in Canada. Potential for snow is incredible. But the hill is also very well designed and marked. Felt very safe and would recommend to anyone. Would be nice if via rail had service there however.

Adam Marsh

I fell in love with this place. Such an amazing experience. I tried snowboard and ski for the first time in my life. The town is magic, the Hotel is lovely, the staff amazing, and the views are simply breathtaking. I'd love to come back someday so badly!

JOJO TV

the pipe coaster was super fun, nice haiking trails, scenic points,there were others attractions that I couldn't enjoyed but I would like to come back and Try gliders :)

Luca Li

Since we live in Ontario we have to travel great distances to find great skiing. We've traveled to several ski resorts in the west including in Colorado British Columbia and Alberta. Revelstoke Mountain Resort has by far been the best skiing we've done anywhere. We skied here in March 2018. It was more than just great skiing with great conditions it was everything that goes with it. There were no crowds, no lineups, incredible scenery, great amenities on the hill, the lift gondola was fast, and the hotel at the base of the mountain had great amenities for ski in/ski out and Aprês Ski. Having said that however I also wouldn't hesitate to stay in the nearby village as well. This place is not the typical pretentious ski village you'll find at Whistler or Beaver Creek. This place is about skiing first, not so much about seeing or being seen. Just because this place is for serious skiers it's not just for experts. There are plenty of beginner and intermediate run options. Whatever your ski ability, with so much vertical you will find yourself spending more time on the hill and less time in the gondola. Which ticks yet another box ????

Tyler Schofield

Son loved it. Gondola was good, lines were small and the mountain coaster son wanted to go more than twice but only 2 times allowed on the day pass. Additional coaster ride was over priced at $30 each. Yes would reccomend for families.

Bruno Kutz

Beautiful resort! Beautiful rooms with king size beds fully stocked kitchens and beautiful view of the mountains! Secure underground parking Swimming pool and hot tub area very nice! Excellent service! Pricey but worth it! Totally recommend!

Steven Webb

Great mountain, not to many people waiting at the chair lift, nice grooming when there isn’t new snow, a lot of place to explore, you won’t get bored! Also, nice powder when there is snow. A mountain that can do everything!

Nate Powell

Unfortunately current unecessary draconian covid-19 restrictions and PoV requirements will keep my family and friends from ever visiting here again simply because this violates Canadian Civil rights and liberties. Spend your money elsewhere and NOT in Revelstoke.

Jan Brejka

This was a midway stop while heading out to our further destination. This place did not disappoint. There are so many things to do right at the mountain. From Hiking, Mountain biking, Extreme Mountain biking. Climbing, Axe Throwing. The best part was the Ride down on the carts! Hotel was clean. Super nice we had a bedroom with a small kitchen in it. Next time we will be staying longer.

m Rafi

Had an absolute blast on the one day trip! The aerial adventure park is so much fun. Food at La Petite Baguette was so delicious and freshly made, I could go back just for the food. Unlimited rides come with the all the day pass for the lower Gandola and the view is really mesmerizing from the very top.

CII Studios

Awesome all day of summer fun. Come early and buy the silver pass for lots of entertainment. Plus, the views from the top gondola are spectacular. Oh, and the burger shack on top serves tasty meals under $10 - a great way to fuel up at mid day.

Rica Coops

As of Dec 14, Only the slopes above the gondola are open. Great snow on open slopes, especially after the overnight 20cm dump on Dec 13/14. Crews groomed most green/blue runs before both days we skied. The resort verifies vaccination status before you can ski, so we felt safe. Roads from the lower mainland are closed so resort was quieter than normal. We saw only one lift line in two days. Had to quit early both days because we skied so much vertical. Already planning next trip to Revy......

Jim Messner

Although we went on a day when it was too smokey to see the view...it was so enjoyable especially the pipe iron roller coaster, are throwing,we took a small hike and it is lovely just riding the gondola

JK

A great place with lots of family fun to be had. The arial rope course was only opening July first, but we still had a lot to do for the entire day. They also allow you to camp free for one night with no services.

Eric Anderson

We did not stay at the resort but we bought the all day adult pass to do all the activities in the area! Highly recommend the all day pass, gives you access to the axe throwing, the gondola(unlimited times), disc golf, the pipe coaster(twice) and the aerial park they have. The pipe coaster has a long line up but it's virtual! So you don't actually have to wait around. We just did all the other activities in the mean time and came back for the coaster! Definitely worth the wait. It was a wonderful experience.

San S

Hill is rough around the edges. Additionally the ticket prices don’t reflect the quality of skiing or experience on the hill. Lastly the fact you can’t get your money back on a pass you didn’t use for the day is ridiculous. I can’t sell the pass and I live across the country so I won’t be able to use it again. Stoked…..

jonathan dimeglio

Lots of fun. There were alot of people but it didn't feel like it. You get a ticket and they post the ticket range so you know when to line up. We had to wait about 45 minutes but we were able to walk around and shop etc while waiting; only had to wait in line for less than 10 minutes.

Vimaljeet Singh

Good mountain, with great terrain. Gets skied out quickly so try and wait for fresh snow to get the best experience. Staff and après-ski are both top notch.

Jasleen Batra

This place was awesome!! We got the day pass (for two days). Rode the "pipe coaster" twice. Rode the gondola to the top and enjoyed some short hikes to two view points. Enjoyed a beer at the lodge on top. The second day we spent time in the ropes course. Best advice we were given was to arrive exactly when they open to avoid long line ups for activities. This is an amazing family friendly place. We also enjoyed our 30th wedding anniversary at the restaurant. We will definitely be returning for more fun.

Jordain Brulotte

Back in the day, the development of Mount McKenzie was pretty much a dream for most of us long time locals. So many times we heard talks of it happening, until the mid 2000’s, and that dream became a reality. The Revelstoke Mountain Resort has exceeded any dreams I ever thought possible for that Mountain. With things to do for the whole family, it’s become a favourite place to spend the day or to take visitors when visiting our Community. I’m no longer a skier, but I did get a few opportunities to hit the hill before the skis were retired. Wow! Wow! Wow! Not a shortage of powder and runs to keep you busy all day long. And the summer months having access to hiking trails, biking trails, helicopter rides, paragliding, the Pipe Coaster, restaurants, and so much more with some of the most amazing views, definitely worth the trip for any visitor. With a multitude of things to do on the mountain or in and around Revelstoke, plan a trip to this amazing Mountain Resort and City.

Paul Adam

Missed the opportunity to ride Coaster. It seems like a fun place for kids and family.

John McCall

Always a good time. Beautiful view. One of my favorite spots. The view from the top is one of the most breathtaking, if not the most. The burgers at Mackenzie post are crazy good too... Pro tip: Grab a burger, toss it in your bag, take Stoke chair above the clouds, eat burger with one of the best views.

Chris Taylor

Pipe coaster and aerial park were very fun. The staff at the aerial park did not seem very happy to be working there however. Nobody was friendly or welcoming, it seemed more like they were annoyed to have to deal with us.

Alex North

This place was AWESOME. If you're around the area you should definitely come here. You should definitely do the pipe mountain coaster, and trust me you should buy two rides because you will want to do it a second time! There are also many other activities here and you could buy a package. The staffs are very friendly and accommodating. Must do!

Dustin Reimer

Stopped in to try out the mountain side pipe coaster, 110% recommend an all day pass for that. We only grabbed a one go ticket and instantly wished we had an all day pass after. Was a blast and is a must try.

Alan O'Brien

One of the nicest places I've ever stayed, add to that the Staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was super comfortable and the place was clean. The steak I had in the Restaurant was as good as any iver had and thats a lot of steaks!

Stephen Platzer

The 5620 trail is pretty rad. Specifically the top section which was smooth like butter. It was pretty quiet so only 1 option for food, 1 option for gear retail but that is to be expected for now. Nice to see more bike trails being built and look forward to riding in the future again.

Leah Garrigus

Axe throwing, pipe coaster, hike and many more. A day pass is worth if I had time to try all of it. Book pipe coaster ticket online 24 hrs prior to skip the line up and the wait time.

chihori lelliott

This morning, there was heavy cloud cover in Revelstoke, and it looked like a very gray day. After a short ride on the gondola, I was pleasantly surprised to find a gorgeous bluebird day (see photos) and lots of good snow that was mostly packed powder. The bump runs were fairly gently carved, making for some excellent glade skiing on the double blacks. Days' end came too quickly, and I was sad to be skiing down The Last Spike. I had a nice beverage at the restaurant/bar and went back to my hotel feeling wonderful. I love this mountain and the town of Revelstoke for all it has to offer. Off to helicopter skiing for the next 5 days with CMH!!

Ben Blair

Well located Ski-in and out Hotel. We stayed here 4 nights for a short Ski vacation, Rooms are nicely laid out, our room was a one bedroom suite, fully kitchen with large sitting Island, 2 fridges, dishwasher and oven with 2 burners, it was excellent to prepare your meals in the room. Outdoor Pool and Hot tub were great, the pool was nice and warm, provided with a ski locker and indoor parking. There is not much around the Mountain Resort to get into town is about a 10 min car ride. Check-in was fast and efficient, employees are great and informative, there is a small welcome reception with Wine & Cheese in the main Lobby.

Celeste Ruppelt

Fantastic place to stay! We were incredibly pleased with the two bedroom suite we stayed in. The staff were very helpful as well. I really enjoyed being able to cook in our suite so we weren't eating out for every single meal of our extended trip. The local grocery stores were in good proximity to the resort. Access to the gondola and Pipe coaster were all on site. Beautiful look out spots, delicious food at the restaurants, and people genuinely looked happy to be there. Great for families, couples retreats, or single traveller getaway. We are already looking forward to returning!

David Clark

A must visit place if you come to Revelstoke, the All day play pass makes it really worth it. It include unlimited gondola ride, which takes you to hikes up the mountain, upper restaurant and the coaster. Also include axe throwing, aeriel park, disc golf and 2x coaster ride. Unfortunately it was very smoky when we visited the resort so we didn't do any of the hikes but we still had a great time and you can easily spend a whole day there!

Super Dave

Stopped by on my way through to try out the mountain pipe coaster and buffet breakfast. The staff was very helpful and happy. The gondola up to the ride/buffet isn't very long but it's enjoyable and feels very safe. The rides speed is easily controllable, it's not very long though but for the experience I think it was worth it. I went up again for the buffet after, the food was very good. Scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, eggs beny, hash browns, toast, waffles and omellettes, fresh fruit. I plan on going again if I pass through Revelstoke again.

Lucas Ng

Went up for the day with my two kids and we had a blast! Started off with the Aerial Adventure while we waited for the Pipe Coaster. My 10 year old was skeptical to go by himself at first but after the first run he wanted to go much faster. After our second run we did the axe throwing activity which was awesome for my 14 yr old daughter. We rode the gondola up to the summit, but it was pretty cold so we came down and did the 9 hole disc golf course (can you say mosquitoes?). All this was about $150 for the day pass for us which included all of the above (×2 coaster ride, x1 axe throw, Unlimited gondola and Aerial Adventure, and the disc golf). Only downside was the wait for the coaster... they said half an hour when we bought the tix but ended up being 2.5 hours. I would suggest going up early when they open, get the tix and then do the coaster first. Other than the wait it was well worth the price for the family for the entire day!

Adnan Sami

Spoiled this year with meters of snow. Great resort with a great vibe. So many glades of open tree skiing, features for the senders, and general awesomeness. 145$ is steep.. but so is the terrain.

Peter Phillips

Great resort, so much terrain, great snow and it was only early season over Christmas. I noticed some people saying that there is a lot of runs not for families but I would disagree as even the black diamond runs at the top were great for intermediate to advanced skiers as there is just so much good snow. We look forward to coming back!
