Spring is a Hidden Gem

Spring Snow Sports

Spring Skiing/Snowboarding

Revelstoke is known for getting lots of snow in March and offering amazing spring conditions in April (along with the occasional sneaky powder day)!! Both months offer excellent skiing!

Come in March and on average experience more powder days than the rest of the year!! With fewer crowds, ski fresh tree lines all day!

Come in April and ride long groomers in the sunshine. Take in the breathtaking views and carve the most vertical in North America. Stop midmountain at Revelation Lodge and have a beer in the sun on the patio. Either way, spring in Revelstoke means you are guaranteed to have great days of skiing.

Hot Deals

With less crowds and the season wrapping up find sales everywhere! Get great deals on gear and repairs and at many of the local retail shops.  Revelstoke Mountain Resort offers deals on all lessons, gear and their First Tracks from now until the season ends. Their First Tracks means you are on the first gondola up in the morning and get a full 45 minutes of skiing before the public gets access to the resort.

Sledding

While town starts to feel the onset of spring, it is snowing in the alpine! Winter stays alive much longer in the mountains. Experience full-on winter on the world-class sled zones on Boulder Mountain and many other epic snowmobile areas in the incredible Revelstoke backcountry.

Heli/Cat Skiing

If you want to try cat and heli-skiing this is the best time! Check out the operations here. Spring means longer days, which means more runs! Usually, there is better visibility and stability to be able to ski those pristine alpine powder bowls and glaciers.

Multi Sport days

Feeling ambitious? Get up and go for a crisp morning bike ride and spend your afternoon soaking up the sun on afternoon groomers! That is a day truly well spent in Revelstoke!

Whether you are looking for the last of that thigh-deep powder, alpine bowls and pillow fields or fun spring skiing with buddies, Revelstoke in spring is epic. Experience the joy of less crowds, more terrain, longer days and hot deals. But you must help keep the secret…Revelstoke is best in the spring!

The traditional Ski and Bike day

Spring sports such as skiing in corn snow can be some of the best turns of the season. Take the lift to the top of the mountain and get some morning turns in, then head down to Mt. Macpherson for some of the best cross country biking there is.

The snowy Ski, Bike, and Snowmobile day

If you’re not ready for winter to end why not start and end your day in the snow? Get some morning turns up at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, then get your bike out for your favourite biking adventure. Top the evening off with a snowmobile night tour from Great Canadian Tours.
