Whilst dining on and around the ski hill is fairly limited, downtown Revelstoke has much more to offer and there you’ll find anything from pubs, bar and grills, Japanese and Chinese restaurants to Italian pizzerias and pasta.

Revelstoke: Non-Skiing Activities

Whilst there’s plenty of exciting non-skiing activities to do in Revelstoke during the summer months (read: white-water rafting, paragliding, mountain biking, hiking and even helicopter weddings…) we’d be lying if we said the best activities in Revelstoke during winter didn’t involve skis. Indeed, Revy is something of a mecca when it comes to heli-skiing and cat skiing.

 

I am not lying if I say that I had time of my life with Eagle Pass Heliskiing. The terrain is some of the best I’ve seen and as far as the eye sees the potential is infinite. What a great place to film a part for Art of Flight. Halleluja” – Professional Snowboarder Nicolas Müller

 

Eagle Pass Heliski lies in the heart of Canada’s Monashee Mountains. Their exclusive area encompasses almost 390,000 acres, or 1,570 square kilometers of British Columbia wilderness and their longest heli runs are longer than Whistler’s top to bottom (but in untouched blower pow). The Monashees are one of the premier places to enjoy Heliskiing and boarding. Each winter, massive storms brew in the Pacific Ocean and when they reach the Monashees they deliver the consistent, super-dry crystalline snow that Revelstoke is famous for. With a combination of wide-open bowls, chutes, treed slopes, and high alpine, Eagle Pass is the ideal environment for your ultimate Heliskiing adventure.

 

You might also consider a day’s cat skiing with Great Northern Snowcat Skiing. It’d be fair to say you’ll be treated to some of the deepest turns of your life either way.
