Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) was crowned the third-best overall ski resort as well as awarded the title of World’s Best Powder.
The resort is home to the biggest vertical drop in Canada, with loads of snow and vast ranges of untouched snow to discover.
“These awards tell us what so many skiers already know, Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a place that is world-class, unique and spectacular,” said Ryan Melnyk, VP of commercial strategy and marketing with RMR, in a release.
“Beyond a broad range of terrain unlike anywhere else, we are graced with an average of 34 feet of snow each year, creating that light, champagne powder skiing and riding experience that people travel from all around the world to enjoy.”
Revelstoke also scored second place in both the Best Ski Resorts for Tree Runs and Best Ski Resorts for Intermediate Skiers categories, and took home third place for Best Ski Resorts for Off-Piste as well as Best Ski Resorts for Snowboarders.
