Revelstoke Mountain Resort Closes For The Season

We have just seen this posted on Revelstoke Mountain Resort’s instagram and it honestly breaks our heart, especially after we have seen Whistler also close down for the rest of the season. Just like Whistler this smack to their operations comes right before the busiest weekend of the spring riding calendar. They would normally be open through to mid April and whilst Revelstoke has a decent season so far with nearly 10m of fresh powder falling across the resort, anytime a resort needs to close early is devastating to not only the riders but also the local community which require tourism to survive.

Our top priority at Revelstoke Mountain Resort has always been the health and safety of our guests and employees. Please note, access to the mountain is prohibited when the Resort is not in operation.If you have unused lift tickets for this season, please email rmrbookings@revelstokemtn.com for a full refund or for credit towards next winter. Please be patient as we address all customer inquiries and navigate this challenging time.Although this season has ended abruptly, I encourage you to look back on the high points of this past winter. Take a moment to scroll through your phone and relive the moments you captured while skiing or riding.At the Resort, we began this season on November 27 and operated for a total of 124 days. We faced several challenges but rallied together as a team to keep our doors open. Your commitment to follow our safety protocols allowed us to deliver a world-class ski and snowboard experience, despite the Covid-19 pandemic. The ability to experience the outdoors allowed us to stay healthy, both physically and mentally, and I am personally thankful for the experiences I had on the mountain.I would also like to state how proud I am of our staff and local community. The collective passion shared by our employees and residents is what makes Revelstoke so special. I cannot think of a better place to work, play or live.In closing, I look forward to welcoming everyone back when we kick off our summer season on May 21 with the opening of the Pipe Mountain Coaster. Until then, stay healthy and get outside often.Sincerely,Peter NielsenVice President of OperationsRevelstoke Mountain ResortHere is to hoping that once the 21/22 season starts again in Canada we as a world will not be dealing with our current problems and restrictions.
