Report from January 11, 2025

Yesterday we got out at Revelstoke ski resort in British Columbia, Canada.

This is one of my homes away from home.

I’ve spent many months here over the years and just being here makes me happy.

We rolled onto the hill about 9am yesterday.

They saw about 4cms of new snow overnight.

The upper mountain was foggy so we headed straight into the trees.

Classic Revelstoke skiing:

  • Foggy
  • Soft bumps in the trees
  • Long, leg burning runs

This mountain will make you strong.

There’s no faking it here.

All the runs are long and steep.

We skied until noon then skied 5,620-vertical-feet down to the base and into the Sutton Place Hotel for lunch.

Revelstoke is putting us up right at the base of the gondola and we are forever grateful.

We made breakfast burritos and toast for lunch and headed back out at 1:30pm.

We skied until closing at 3pm and even ran into our buddies Aaron & Lucas.

I had more spunk in the afternoon and had a blast challenging myself skiing the tree moguls as fast as I could.

Oh and the exchange rate is amazing here right now.

  • 1 USD = 1.44 CAD

Thanks, BC!
