    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!

    Sundance Mountain Resort Is Getting a New High-Speed Quad and More Back Mountain Terrain This Winter

    Sundance Mountain Resort Is Getting a New High-Speed Quad and More Back Mountain Terrain This Winter

    Sundance Mountain Resort's back mountain is finally getting a proper lift. The Electric Horseman Express opens for 2026-27, unlocking a new bowl next to Bishop's Bowl and three expert gladed chutes across roughly 105 fresh acres - on top of the Storyteller ridge run that debuted in preview form last season. It's Sundance's biggest expansion since 1985, and it turns a three-lift slog into a single six-minute ride to Bearclaw Summit.

    Nassfeld Invests €13 Million in New 6-Seater Chairlift for 2026/27 Season

    Nassfeld Invests €13 Million in New 6-Seater Chairlift for 2026/27 Season

    Nassfeld is putting €13 million into a new 6-seater chairlift, the Tressdorfer Almbahn, connecting Sonnleitn with the Tressdorfer Alm from December 2026. It replaces three ageing drag lifts and will run through summer too, from June 2027, moving up to 2,500 people an hour on the roughly three-minute ride. It's the latest step in Carinthia's largest ski resort building out a genuine year-round offering, following last year's Gartnerkofelbahn gondola.

    Stelvio Glacier Suspends Summer Skiing, Leaving Continental Europe Without a Lift-Served Slope

    Stelvio Glacier Suspends Summer Skiing, Leaving Continental Europe Without a Lift-Served Slope

    Italy's Stelvio Glacier has pulled the plug on summer skiing from August 15. It was the last lift-served ski option left standing in continental Europe, and now there's none. Operator SIFAS pointed to persistent heat, storms, and a snowpack that simply wasn't refreezing overnight anymore. The cable car keeps running. Whether skiing comes back later this summer depends on the weather turning - and right now, nobody's promising anything.

    Maverick Mountain's Only Chairlift Destroyed as Sand Creek Fire Tears Through Montana Ski Area

    Maverick Mountain's Only Chairlift Destroyed as Sand Creek Fire Tears Through Montana Ski Area

    Firefighters saved every base building at Maverick Mountain, Montana, but the resort's sole chairlift didn't survive the Sand Creek Fire. Owners Erik and Kristi Borge say the lift is "most likely" out for the 2026/27 season after flames tore through the mountain on August 8. The wildfire has since grown past 27,700 acres with zero percent containment. It's a gutting result for the tiny, one-lift operation near Dillon - though the lodge, groomers and equipment all made it through untouched.

    Fairmont Niseko: New Luxury Resort Revives Stalled La Plume Site for Early 2028 Opening

    Fairmont Niseko: New Luxury Resort Revives Stalled La Plume Site for Early 2028 Opening

    Fairmont is bringing its second Japanese property to Niseko, and this one's got history. The 165-room resort will rise on the site of the stalled La Plume project, which collapsed into bankruptcy in 2025 before J-Will Partners bought the site for redevelopment. Set between Mount Yotei and Mount Annupuri, it's slated for an early 2028 opening - putting it in play for the 2027/28 season. Expect two restaurants, a spa, onsen bathing, and a kids' club, a short drive from Niseko Village and Hirafu.

    Saas-Fee Closes Its Glacier to Summer Skiing as Heat Wave Drags On

    Saas-Fee Closes Its Glacier to Summer Skiing as Heat Wave Drags On

    Saas-Fee is closing its glacier to summer skiing from Monday, August 10 - the second major Swiss resort to shut in under two weeks after Zermatt suspended operations on August 1. Persistent heat and warm nights that won't let the glacier refreeze are behind the call, per Saastal Bergbahnen. That leaves Italy's Stelvio as the only glacier ski area open in the Alps. Reopening could come as early as August 17, though nothing's confirmed - and racing teams are already looking south instead.

    Silvretta Montafon Plans New 10-Person Gondola to Replace Ageing Hochjoch Lift

    Silvretta Montafon Plans New 10-Person Gondola to Replace Ageing Hochjoch Lift

    Silvretta Montafon wants to retire one of its most distinctive lifts. The plan: a single 10-person gondola running direct from Schruns to 1,870 metres, replacing both the two-stage Hochjoch cable car and the 1985 Kropfen chairlift in one move. Capacity jumps from 620 to 3,000 people an hour, and the mid-station transfer disappears entirely. The public hearing lands August 27, 2026 - construction hasn't been confirmed yet, though lift databases are pointing to 2027.

    Dolomiti Superski's general assembly has unanimously re-elected Andy Varallo for a third consecutive term, running through 2029.

The 46-year-old Alta Badia cable car entrepreneur says the region's marketing is moving beyond skiing alone, toward positioning the Dolomites as a year-round destination.
