Winter in Revelstoke runs from early to mid-November through late April. Every month offers something different: early-season powder, peak heli/cat skiing, long spring days, and sledding opportunities.
The snow starts stacking in November and the mountains turn white. The resort preps for opening, the sledders start scouting lines. It's quiet, local, and full of early-season hype.
December is when deep days begin. The resort lifts are spinning, sled zones firing, and powder days come frequently. Town lights up with holiday energy and apres season begins.
January in Revelstoke is cold, stable, and deep. Revelstoke's powder reputation comes alive with consistent powder days.
In February, days get longer, stability improves in the snowpack, and the window of opportunity for backcountry missions increases.
Spring brings less storms but more sun. It's still winter up high but afternoons get warmer, perfect for après!
The snowpack holds and the stoke stays high but the vibes turn local. Snow gets warmer but so do the days. A great time to grab a beer on the sunny patio after a day on the mountain.
