My First Time Skiing at REVELSTOKE

[@TheKhashix]

Being born and raised in the area around Revelstoke, Whitewater, Red Mountain, etc. Your videos give me such a beautiful nostalgic feeling. Haven't gone Skiing in about 10 years myself, but that love of the mountain never goes away. Keep up the awesome vids!

[@riseandalpine]

Love that I can bring out that feeling for you. The best feeling in the world. Glad to hear it never goes away :)

[@michaelkopp2520]

Glad you had a great time at Revy! I saw a line that I rode back in 2018, just when you guys were skinning out. Thanks for the vid!

[@riseandalpine]

Glad you enjoyed it! Can't wait to go back and time a storm!

[@grumpyone5963]

Some great views up there and lovely powder.🇬🇧

[@riseandalpine]

So much vertical at Revy. One of the all time best to ski top to bottom. Need to come back for some super deep pow.

[@choisam20]

I’ve been waiting to see this for a looong time. Awesome!

[@riseandalpine]

Glad you liked it!

[@naneki74]

Hey thanks for that! I miss Revy! Was nice to take me there through your video! Revy's got the best snow!

[@riseandalpine]

Such good snow out there! Going to have to go back for a big resort powder day!

[@joeyfrye3906]

about the "not that avi prone comment" in the video... yeah that bowl slides, even the steep skin track that's often put in slides. There's a reason you're not seeing lines in that bowl this entire season. The forecast still calls for Deep Persistent Slabs on ALL aspects in Revelstoke..

[@riseandalpine]

I agree with you. Any slope (especially above 30 degrees) should always be treated as 'avi prone'. Looks like a complex area to me! I didn't even notice he said that when I was editing. Thanks for flagging so people to get the wrong idea. Always check forecasts, assess snow and make your own judgements out there!

[@SnowghostFilms]

Went here right before COVID. Amazing place, makes the largest Australian ski lift look like a small terrain area. The trees were another level, it was my first time with hike to terrain and I just want to go back so much, preferably with someone as crazy as me

[@riseandalpine]

Glad you got to experience the stoke. Are you already planning another trip?

[@TheHannes]

Enjoyed that. Always good to see good skiiers, including "you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation" situations un their vids. Loving the RevelSTOKE

[@riseandalpine]

hahaha thanks Hannes!

[@jaydenlewis3765]

Revy is an awesome mountain!! Absolutely love the videos you post, I look forward to watching them every time!!

Thanks Jayden! Looking forward to hitting Revy again with a big storm, it would be epic!

It sure does look like Paradise, though..................🎿⛄ Would love to ski there. 🎄(But I might need TWO of those firecracker bottles!) Lynn in NYC (where we sure love skiing "Cement City")🗽

Thanks Kyle!

[@theroadnottakentravel]

Revy looks sick! After skiing in Banff 2 months ago for my first time skiing out west, I’m already planning on buying the ikon base and hitting up revy and others in southern BC!

[@riseandalpine]

I'd love to try the mountains on the Ikon pass as well, would be epic!

[@robertcampbell9364]

I recommend the mtn collective if you can plan to be in the Banff to Revelstoke area. Also plan a road trip to Salt Lake from Calgary. 16days of free skiing if you plan the route carefully.

[@theroadnottakentravel]

@@robertcampbell9364 yeah I’ll look into that for sure. I live 2 hrs from Tremblant, as well as other Ikon mountains in the northeastern US, so even if I don’t go out west next szn, I can still pay off the base pass if I ski locally!

[@OutsideSomewheres]

The chute at 5:30 is called brown shorts! First ridden and named by a dude named Chris Pawlitsky if I'm not mistaken

[@riseandalpine]

Hilarious name! I'd love to ski it. Do you know if it's accessible from the back or do you just boot straight up the couloir?

[@richardvoyageur]

@@riseandalpine I believe you go around the right, if you kept going from the chutes you were on you get there eventually, like 1+ hour?

[@kingparker2101]

Keep the videos coming! They keep getting better and better. I was also wondering what you would rate glacier wall at whistler.

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks King Parker! Glacier wall is fun and totally depends on the size of the cornice and snowpack in terms of difficulty. Sometimes you can string together a really cool line in there.

[@kingparker2101]

Thanks might try next time I’m at whistler.

[@kpmariner1998]

Been nervous about my fam wanting to hit this hill. Thanks for this video.

[@riseandalpine]

Blue's don't even exist at KHMR 😂

[@jackwabbit9784]

Revelstoke such a good mountain, those chutes are amazing on pow days

[@riseandalpine]

Revy is super sick - would love playing around there on a powder day. So many natural features to jump off!

[@felipe2fp]

Such a great video!!! I'm thinking to go this winter there, but I have never done backcountry or avalanche courses. What takes to go the south bowl as you did? Is it necessary the beacon/shaver/rope? As a snowboard, can I just go waking or you felt it needs a split board? Are there any skiable bowl/alpine that does not need that knowledge? For example, in Whistler I could do the bowls but was not backcountry.

[@riseandalpine]

At Revelstoke there is really just the Greely bowl which is inbounds. Very different from all the controlled bowl skiing at Whistler. If you leave the bounds of the resort at Revy you 100% need beacon, shovel, probe a partner with all the gear and all the training. Anything off the resort can slide and kill you at anytime!

[@will3057]

2 more days until I'm in whistler

Right on! Hopefully you get some awesome storms!

[@brendansailer6413]

What are your thoughts on using a touring setup for resort skiing? Trying to decide my next setup and notice you have a setup similar to the one I want to get!

[@riseandalpine]

If you're going to use it a lot on the resort like I do I would run the Duke PT bindings, A Cast/Look Pivot system or classic frame bindings. You will have a very heavy setup but it will ride just like a resort ski, keep you from pre releasing and not wear down on your pins.

[@davidcreighton-tu8ju]

I have recently bought kingpin 13 touring bindings. I have never toured but thought it’s time to learn. Did you ski all runs inbound and out in tech bindings in this video. Just trying to figure out my limits with these bindings over my griffon 13 Mnc

[@riseandalpine]

I've got Marker Duke PT's. They've got a full resort toe-piece so not the same as riding a tech binding in bounds. However, I've got friends who often ski tech bindings on the resort. You can push those tech bindings super hard. It all depends on your weight/DIN and ski style so I'd recommend easing into it. If you're riding resort all the time in them you might risk wearing the toe pieces/breaking them faster. Let me know how it goes, I'm interested to hear.

[@epicjaygamer]

you are so lucky I would love to snowboard on this I’m stuck at grouse 😢

[@riseandalpine]

Plan a road trip!

[@AintNoHatin]

I got the Grouse y2play and it gives you 2 free days at Revy

Finally a video at Revy thats not some Jerry from England just skiing groomers all day. Looking forward to a trip this Feb.

[@riseandalpine]

Glad you liked it. I got a full review video on my channel on Revy which you might find helpful too.

[@ToblerX]

@riseandalpine great video, until you called the Ikon a scam. I ski unlimited at Winter Park all winter. Family lives in Steamboat, yup I ski there too. Going to Revy in Feb, skiing 4 days, not buying a lift ticket. Doesn't sound like much of a scam to me.

[@Denizz._]

Is there any runs on whistler like 1:36 I mean this mountain is super intersting ALSO YOU SAID YOU WILL KEEP USING THE WORD Fundaginiling 2 months ago

[@riseandalpine]

Whistler's got some chutes but not all lined up in a row like this.. Fundangiling is the best!!!

[@vandanpatel7190]

Which day were you at Revelstoke? My friend and I were there on the 23rd and 24th!

[@riseandalpine]

Hey! I think this was like the 9th or something of March!

[@philipgardiner2003]

Such a great video! Just very real and you guys were having so much FUN! Revelstoke seems like a great mountain. How is the terrain, vibe and access compared to Whistler/Blackcomb?

[@riseandalpine]

It was a blast at Revy. Vibe is more low key than Whistler and usually way less lift lines. The stoke chair is a high speed so you can get alot of skiing in. It has a great mix of terrain and the vertical is pretty unbeatable. Lots of super creative drops and natural features. Not as many intense chutes, steeps and alpine bowls as Whistler, but Whistler is just so damn big. Transportation there is harder, I mean you can't get any easier than the Vancouver airport and bus ride to Whistler. Backcountry access was super solid as well. Not as majestic as Blackcombs backcountry but still looked like a lot of gnarly lines.

[@hollycalvin9156]

Fantastic videos!

[@riseandalpine]

Thanks Holly :)

[@tonyl.1426]

those ski poles are nice! where did you get them?

[@riseandalpine]

They are Black Diamond Expedition 3 Poles but I don't really like them. Black diamond makes the worst pole tips in the industry in my opinion. The flex tips have snapped on me 3 times this year. Poles themselves are good but I might just save them for hiking and not bother wasting money on tips again.

i think whistler will be closed by then only blackcomb will be open. probably not all the lifts open and mostly slushy

Literally no one on earth can predict the snow condition 2 weeks in advance. Expect spring conditions, prepare for ice.

Conditions were good right now. Spring conditions are common that time of year but sometimes the snow gods will provide us with a storm or two.
