REVELSTOKE MOUNTAIN RESORT.
THE LONGEST VERTICAL DROP IN NORTH AMERICA AT 5,620 FT (1,713 M). RMR is the only resort in the world to offer lift, cat, heli, and backcountry skiing.
The Resort’s new Stellar Chair, accessed from the top of the gondola, is the perfect learning zone for both kids and grown-ups. The chair provides access to wide open, mellow grade green runs named Big Bend, Over Easy and Bacon & Eggs. If your legs still have some gusto left, The Last Spike is a long green run spanning the length of the mountain from the top of the Stoke Chair to the Village Base.
RMR has some of the longest highways of corduroy on the planet. Make the top pitches of Snow Rodeo, Feller Buncher, and Wooley Bully your first foray, all of them cross back over the Last Spike if you need to dip out. Switch it up by meandering over to the Ripper Chair, where the grooming’s just as delectable and you can segue into some low-angle glades. If those seem easy, dive into Separate Reality off the top of the Stoke Chair.
Everyone’s gunning for it on a powder day: North Bowl. Once patrol drops the rope, traverse skier’s right from the top of the Stoke Chair for the lower entry points, or bootpack the Lemming Line into the upper chutes, where you’ll also find the track over to Gracias Ridge and Greely Bowl. For the highest point on the mountain, take the bootpack straight up to Sub Peak’s tight couloirs, or funnel back down Powder Assault into the upper reaches of North Bowl.
