The snow is falling and with it comes all the fun of winter activities. Get out there and enjoy the cold weather fun!
Here are 10 things to do in the winter in Revelstoke:
1. Dog Sledding with Revelstoke Dog Sled Adventures
“Mush” the dogs or sit back and enjoy the journey through the beautiful Revelstoke landscape. Let Eric and his team show you the area in a way you won’t have seen before.

2. Fat Biking
Revelstoke is pretty serious about biking and we don’t let the snow stop us! Rent fat bikes from Skookum or Tantrum and hit the trails. Or better yet, book a tour with Wandering Wheels, our local bike guide experts.
3. Night time Cross-country Skiing at Mt Macpherson
Mt Macpherson has 26km of groomed Nordic trails and 6km of those are floodlit for night use. The club have rental equipment and trail use costs just $11 for an adult day ticket. So grab your friends (and your dog) and head on out!
4. Ski touring to the Caribou Cabin in Revelstoke National Park with a picnic from a local cafe
Does anything taste better than a warm hot chocolate and a yummy treat whilst nestled away in a cozy backcountry lodge? Hit one of the awesome coffee shops in town for supplies and skin up to the cabin with friends for an epic day out.

5. Snowshoe Tours with Revelstoke Snowshoe Company
Maybe skis aren’t for you, but the call of the backcountry is still strong. Revelstoke Showshoe Company has the thing. Tours run daily and cater to a variety of fitness and experience levels. Enjoy the peace of the wilderness and let Pete and his guides show you the local flora and fauna along the way.
6. Mt Begbie Brewing Tours
Revelstoke isn’t just home to world class skiing- our beers are world class too! Visit Mt Begbie Brewing’s brand new space, taste the beers and learn how they make their medal winning brews.
7. Monashee Spirits Craft Distillery Tours
Monashee Spirits Craft Distillery may be a newcomer to the Revelstoke scene but they are making a big impact. Distilled using only local and sustainable ingredients, the distillery are growing their selection of spirits constantly. Book into the tasting bar and find out what they have to offer.
8. Stargazing with Columbia Stars

9. Sled Tours with Great Canadian

10. Thrift Store Shopping for Retro Ski Gear
The end of the season creeps up quickly- make sure you have your outfit ready for closing day. The Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store has a wealth of retro treasures and rare treats in stock all winter. Find that perfect outfit to confirm your status as the best skier on the mountain!

do you have a link for the stargazing? Is Columbia stars a company that rents telescopes? Thank you

Hello Megan,
Columbia Stars offer sessions looking at the stars through high powered telescopes. I don’t think they rent them for use outside of their organised sessions, but the sessions are very fun and informative! You can find out more about them here: https://www.facebook.com/columbiastars/
