What’s New For 23/24 At Revelstoke Mountain Resort
As the days get shorter and the air gets crisper, anticipation is building for yet another thrilling winter season at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. But this year, there's an extra layer of excitement in the air as we prepare to unveil a slew of exciting enhancements for the 23.24 season. From terrain upgrades to brand-new facilities, the resort is set to offer an unforgettable experience like never before. Here's a sneak peek at the exciting winter upgrades awaiting you at Revelstoke Mountain Resort.
Expanding the Learning Zone
The resort is on the verge of completing a multi-year plan to expand the beginner and intermediate terrain on the mountain. This phase of the project includes lift upgrades, terrain improvements, and enhanced infrastructure for the Mountain Sports School. These enhancements will create a centralised progressive zone where skiers and snowboarders can enjoy their winter adventures to the fullest.
Introducing the Cupcake Carpet
Say goodbye to the Turtle Creek surface lift, which has been relocated and renamed as the Cupcake Carpet. You can now find it at the bottom of Big Bend, right at the top of the Revelation Gondola in the Stellar Zone. This new location ensures a longer operating window, as it's not reliant on snowmaking. The Cupcake Carpet, in tandem with other improvements, will play a vital role in establishing a centralised learning area on the mountain.
A New Home for the Mountain Sports School
Exciting news for our Mountain Sports School! We're thrilled to announce a much-needed addition to our program—a brand-new facility. Situated at the top of the Revelation Gondola, adjacent to the Mackenzie Outpost, this facility will feature a main seating area for group lunches and breaks, along with classroom space for courses and camps. It'll be up and running for the 2023/24 winter season and will be utilised year-round for lessons and programs.

Ripper Chair Capacity Boost
While it might not be immediately noticeable, the capacity of the Ripper Chair will increase by a whopping 20%. These additional chairs will help manage lift lines and provide quicker access to your favourite runs, ensuring you maximise your time on the slopes.
Terrain Enhancements
The Ripper side of the mountain has witnessed significant terrain improvements, especially for beginner and intermediate guests. Notably, the trail grading and widening on Sally Alley have been revamped, making it perfect for those new to the slopes. These changes reflect our commitment to creating a welcoming and enjoyable environment for newcomers to winter sports.
Expanded Program Offering for Mountain Sports School
Our Mountain Sports School is taking instruction to new heights this season. We're launching an expanded program offering, including an extended Revy Rippers program for ages 6-15, with two additional weekends in December. Plus, get ready for a variety of adult camps and clinics, such as freeride sessions and mogul clinics. With an exciting lineup like this, you're sure to find the perfect fit for your winter goals.
Other Exciting Additions and Expansions
New Maintenance Facility: Keep an eye out for changes at our upper mountain maintenance shop if you're taking the scenic route down (Last Spike). We've been hard at work expanding the facility, which will now provide an additional 3,000 square feet to accommodate our growing cat fleet and an expanded maintenance program, all centralised in one location. This means a better overall resort experience for you.
Retail Expansion: Gear Up in Style: We're stepping up our retail game with vast improvements to our existing retail shop (R-Gear) and hard goods shop (Critical Parts). These spaces are undergoing a major renovation and expansion during the off-season, merging both shops to offer expanded retail offerings. Expect the latest and greatest equipment, high-performance gear, apparel, and cherished Revelstoke Mountain Resort souvenirs.
With these exciting winter enhancements, Revelstoke Mountain Resort is primed and ready to welcome you back for another season of epic adventures on the slopes. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time skier, Revelstoke is committed to providing an unforgettable winter experience for all. So, gear up and get ready for an exhilarating winter ahead!
