It is a great hill very challenging and the powder days can be crazy awesome! The only downfall for Revy is the hill can be difficult for beginners or younger families due to very little beginner/easier intermediate runs. It challenged my kids and now they can ski/board any of the hills we go visit with no issues!

However, next summer they have plans to cut some more beginner/intermediate terrain in the upper 1/2 and put in another quad chair!

and yes I've heard nothing but good things about Revy, well except the drive there
It's pretty rough....my house is basically 1 km away from the parking lot and gondola. In the master plan in the next 15yrs they should have some runs basically running down to my house!


We are getting a crap load of powder tonight expected 30cm....Friday is looking like a ski-day! The drive can suck big time especially that trans canada between Field to Revelstoke..

I ski Chestnut Mountain on the Mississippi river in Illinois!

I am very jealous of you that don't have a long days drive to get to a mountain.

Went out to Copper a few years ago with friends, and then to Vail and Snowmass the last few years with the family. Going back to Vail this coming January - everyone seemed to like it, me being the sole snowboarder - and the rest of the family are skiers. A nice mix for everyone.

I usually hit Bachelor (My house is <20 minutes away) and sometimes Mt Hood Meadows and Timberline in the summer (so its an icy glacier but boarding in a t shirt makes it worthwhile). Haven't been yet this year but everything is open. I went to a wedding at Timberline 2 weeks ago and it killed me looking out at everybody hitting it and I'm in the lodge wearing a suit.

Being I"m from Denver pretty much any of the local resorts.. Ironically enough I try to stay away from Vail and Breckenridge as they are too touristy.. Big fan of Steamboat and Crested Butte though...

Last year had a season pass to Northstar-at-Tahoe. This year, gf and I want to mix up the resorts we haven't gone to in a while. Bought a Snowbomb discount pass - going to do SugarBowl, Kirkwood, Alpine, Sierra-at-Tahoe. Fun starts this weekend!
