REVELSTOKE CONDITIONS TODAY:
– 12cms (4.5”) of new snow up top
– Solid skiing top to bottom (5,620 vertical feet of it)
– Crazy visual condition variance from top to bottom with dense/mobile fog layers at times, moderate snowfall at times, good vis at times, and even some blue holes at times
– Surface conditions = soft snow, some old lurking moguls, occasional uncovered icy patches. The lower the angle, the better the skiing was; the steeper stuff felt icy
– The upper mountain definitely had more snow, with the mid-mountain being a bit thinner, then the lower mountain also had more snow again (maybe even deeper than the upper mt. as it snowed down there most the day)
-Heavier snow at the bottom compared to the top, which felt like home and skied great
WHERE THE SKIING WAS BEST TODAY:
– North Bowl was good, but it was tough to see where there aren’t any trees
– Skier’s left of the Stoke Chair all the way down to the Gondola mid-station was cash $$$ (and about 5K vertical feet long)
CROWD FACTOR:
– People definitely showed up for the Christmas break/weekend powder day
– But, there still was never more than a 5 minute line (and the majority of the day had no lines at all)
– Honestly, there just aren’t enough people at Revelstoke to ski all the snow (we think Revelstoke should begin a recruiting campaign to attract more skiers to track out the snow faster…it’s sad to see some much perfect snow go unskied)
OVERALL:
– It was a fantastic ski day
– 4-6” of snow covered everything and made skiing damn fun
– 5K+ foot runs all day in pow and pow-moguls keeps smiles smiling
– Pillows…
