    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 ZoneThe 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 CarpetSay 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 SchoolExciting 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.

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 EnhancementsThe 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 SchoolOur 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 ExpansionsNew 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!

    FIS Weighs Holding World Championships in Almost Every Winter, Starting 2032

    The International Ski and Snowboard Federation is looking at a major shake-up to its title events calendar. From 2032, World Championships could run not just in odd-numbered years but in every non-Olympic winter too, effectively putting a global title event on the calendar almost every season. The FIS Council has approved the concept following a feasibility study, though an accelerated rollout as early as 2028 is also under consideration.

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller closes out its 2026 season this Sunday, joining Falls Creek, Hotham and Charlotte Pass in a cluster of closures landing almost simultaneously and roughly a month ahead of schedule. The culprit is stark: Spencers Creek's benchmark snow depth hit 31.2cm on 3 September, just 18% of the 73-year average and an all-time low for this point in the season. Six of Victoria and NSW's best-known resorts will have shut their lifts early within a span of about two and a half weeks.

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

    Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6

    Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6

    We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    A deadly flood on the Nepal-China border, a decade-old tragedy on Italy's Marmolada, and an unstable glacier right now above a village near Zermatt - three very different mountain ranges, the same underlying story. Warming ice is destabilising terrain that was considered settled for generations, and the results range from catastrophic floods to slow-motion monitoring situations that could go either way.

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Tyrol's highest ski area is gearing up to open a full month ahead of most of the Alps. The Pitztal Glacier is scheduled to start its 2026/27 season on Saturday 26 September, running through to 2 May 2027, with the lower-altitude Rifflsee area following in December. High-altitude terrain up to 3,440 metres gives the glacier a head start on snow, though as always, the actual opening extent will depend on how September's weather plays out. Early online ski pass bookings can save up to 30%.
