Last year, RMR celebrated its 10th anniversary season which delivered a record breaking 40 feet of snowfall and record levels of visitation. Looking ahead, RMR is well positioned for growth and continues to build awareness on a global scale. Partnerships such as the Mountain Collective and Ikon Pass have helped establish Revelstoke as a world-class destination, while an ever-changing competitive landscape has further highlighted the Resort’s unique identity.
During the winter, skiers and snowboarders are drawn to Revelstoke with the promise of reliable snow, big mountain terrain, and an authentic mountain-town vibe. The Resort boasts the most vertical in North America at 5,620 vertical feet and offers lift, cat, heli, and backcountry adventures. During the summer, RMR welcomes travellers to experience The Pipe Mountain Coaster, North America’s first Brandauer mountain coaster. The Resort has also established itself as a summer hiking destination with over 20 kilometres of hiking trails and plans to introduce mountain biking in 2019.
