Start the season where the mountains get serious.
Join us for a weekend in Revelstoke, deep in the legendary Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia. Big mountain terrain, huge vertical, incredible views and a legendary ski-town atmosphere make Revelstoke the perfect place to kick off the 2026/27 ski season.
This isn't just another opening weekend. Revelstoke is a destination worth the drive.
Get ready for long laps, deep snow, expansive terrain and that feeling you only get when you're surrounded by massive mountains. Whether you're chasing your first powder turns of the season, exploring Revy for the first time, or coming back for more, there's a reason skiers and riders put Revelstoke on their list.
We'll get you there, get you settled in and get you on the mountain — you just bring your gear and your stoke.
Your Backside weekend includes:
Round-trip transportation from Edmonton, Red Deer & Calgary
2 nights accommodation
2 days of lift access at Revelstoke Mountain Resort
2 Backside Trip Experts on the trip
A great crew and a full weekend of mountain-town fun
From the moment you load the bus to your final run on Sunday, we'll handle the details so you can focus on what you're there for: great skiing, good times and a weekend in one of BC's most iconic mountain towns.
Massive terrain. Legendary snowfall. Serious vertical.
Revelstoke delivers a true big-mountain experience without the cookie-cutter resort feel. Add in a vibrant little mountain town, great après and some of the most spectacular scenery in BC, and you've got everything you need for a proper season opener.
Load the bus. Chase the snow. Start the season in Revy.
