Friends Ski Trip!
The main attraction in Revelstoke is the mountains. Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a must- with 5620 feet of vertical and some of the most exciting terrain in North America.
Book into one of our hotels right downtown as a base for your visit. We recommend the classic Regent Hotel, or the budget-friendly Grizz Hotel as jumping-off points for your Revelstoke vacation. If you are travelling with skiers, the downtown hotels offer access to the Resort Shuttle. You can enjoy charming downtown Revelstoke while your travelling companions hit the slopes.
Travel Day.
It might not be the smartest idea, but we understand the happenings of a ski trip with friends. If you get in at a decent hour, head to Cantina Del Centro or Taco Club for a margarita and tacos. It's probably best to head back to the hotel afterward to catch some sleep for a big day on the hill tomorrow.
We can't stop you if you want to go out, in that case, check out River City Pub for some pool or request a bowling time in the back of Cantina Del Centro.
Cantina Del Centro
Cantina del Centro captures the essence of Latin American cuisine and vibes, with a focus on Mexican food and beverages! They also have a bowling alley. Reservations for both are available and strongly recommended.
Taco Club
Vibrant venue for Latin street food serving seasonal tacos, burritos, enchiladas & tequila drinks.
The River City Pub & Patio
Rivercity Pub, established in 1932, is a historic bar known for its daily food and drink specials, vibrant atmosphere, and live music.
Day One.
Morning
Breakfast it’s the most important meal of the day. If your accommodation doesn't include breakfast, check out La Baguette or Terravita Kitchen for some baked goods or a banger sandwich. If staying on the resort, La Baguette has a smaller location up there.
If you are smart, you can skip the visitor services line at the ski resort and get your lift pass (that you ordered the night before online) from one of the automated tills.
In the afternoon
If you're on a roll and feel like grabbing a quick lunch, drop by the Mackenzie Outpost, located at the top of the Gondola for a burger. If the legs need a rest & the crew is looking for a beer, try out Revelation Lodge, located at the mid-station gondola.
Après
If you're thinking what we're thinking... this is the second most important part (other than shredding around the mountain). For evening one, head to Craft Beirhaus, home to a large selection of craft beers, Mac n cheese, and communal tables - that will fit your entire group. If you're hitting the town afterwards, leave your car behind & head to The Last Drop, a local bar with live music, DJ's and pool. If you're looking to bump around, stop by the Regent Hotel's River City Pub.

Day Two.
Morning
We've got so many options for breakfast. If you're in a rush to get skiing again (you didn't get after it last night), order online and pick up your breakfast at the window of Dose Coffee. If your crew is hurting and in no rush, sit down at Main Street Cafe for a phenomenal breakfast.
During the Day
Ski all day but stop in for lunch at the Rockford Bar & Grill for an epic lunch. Ski till close then go find out whats happening in the square for Apres. Usually, a DJ will be playing and the food trucks at Mac Tavern will be pumping out snacks.
In the evening
We are going to assume you want to go out. If you're feeling classy, head to Monashee Spirits Distillery for an unreal cocktail while you wait to get into a restaurant. For dinner, check out Kawakubo, an incredible sushi spot, or head to Village Idiot for a true ski-town bar experience. Continue on your night out by heading to Traverse Night Club or Seoul Street. If you're not feeling the vibes, The Drop and River City Pub are just blocks away.

Non-ski Outdoor Adventure
If you still want to get out and about and take in Revelstoke’s gorgeous scenery, here are our recommendations:
Snowshoeing - Head our for a guided snowshoe tour or rent a set of snowshoes and explore on your own - just make sure you are equipped and stay out of avalanche terrain!.
Dog sledding - Experience the landscape rushing by while you’re wrapped up and being pulled along by a team of dogs. Dog sledding feels like a truly Canadian winter adventure.
Snowmobiling - A snowmobile tour is a great way to get out and get views of Revelstoke. Tours often go up Frisby Ridge, which offers expansive views of the valley below. There are a number of tour options, as well as the option to double.
