Early answers
Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a ski area on Mount Mackenzie in British Columbia that publishes North America's largest lift-served vertical: 1,713 m (5,620 ft) from a 512 m village base to a 2,225 m top-lift elevation, over 3,121 skiable acres and 75 runs. Revelstoke Mountain Resort: Mountain Stats — checked 2026-11-10 (Europe/Stockholm).
Key takeaways
- Official figures: 1,713 m vertical, 3,121 acres, 75 runs (12% green, 43% intermediate, 45% advanced) and a 15.2 km longest run.
- The resort states an annual average snowfall of 10.5 m; third-party monthly averages show December as the snowiest month.
- Average base depth on OnTheSnow rises through the season and peaks in April at about 208 cm (82 in).
- The lift count differs by source (six lifts in the media kit, five on SkiBC), so this guide does not quote a single lift total.
- Nearly half the runs are rated advanced, so it suits confident intermediates and experts more than first-timers.
