Revelstoke Mountain Resort

Great first day in Revelstoke. We ran into my friend Bill Derksen at the top of the first lift ride. Bill proceeded to guide our group around the mountain. Bill has spent the past seven seasons at Red, this year he opted for a change and made the excellent choice of Revelstoke. Thanks for the guidance Bill, good to see you. The runs here are long! I was not used to the length of lift ride (short) compared to the length of run (long). One thing that is nice to see here is the way the runs have been cut. Revelstoke has opted to leave all the natural rolls in the terrain, this has made the groomers very exciting.

As you can see from the photos the tree skiing is pretty good here as well. We are looking forward to more exploring tomorrow.
Skiers in photos are Samantha Bell and Rick Sala.

When I skied there last year there were a lot of fallen trees and logs on the cut runs. Have they cleared that up? It was quite dangerous I thought as there wer a lot of branches and roots sticking out especially towards the bottom of runs.

No problems in that regard at all. \maybe there is more snow this year? The base is at 182cm.
