Snowboarding in Revelstoke

Last weekend a bunch of us went to Revelstoke skiing/snowboarding for the weekend. I haven't snowboarded in a very long time! 4 or more years! Not knowing anything about Revelstoke three months ago I said "Yeah, I'll go!" How bad can it be....? Never heard of a hill in Revelstoke. Turns out the place opened a few years ago and it has the largest vertical in North America. Still stoke to go tho!



The trip started off really crappy. Road closed from Golden to Revelstoke. The one road there!!! We ended up staying in golden Friday night. Being my birthday we started drinking at the pool. Turns out they opened the road around 10 that night but warned everyone not to travel it. So up at 6am and on the road!!! Roads were in okay shape. Slow and steady the whole way there.



Got there on time. Got our tickets. Got on the gondola to the top. Great day of snowboarding. Besides the bottom. It had rained and everything was ice. but the top was just crazy deep of power. It was my first power experience. and I am now in love! The only thing that wrong that day was my boots were killing my feet. I could only get a few runs in. The runs take you over and hour to get down from the top. Bought a new board over the weekend and got a pair of sweat Flow boots!!! (post pics when everything is installed) Can't wait to go boarding again. Émilie and I might head somewhere this weekend. Thinking sunshine!
