Has anyone on this forum skied at Revelstoke? I may have the opportunity to ski there Jan. '12 and am curious about the mountain and where to stay. Even rumors would be appreciated. :D

Re. Revelstoke, I have never skied there, but hear that it is an amazing place.  Very challenging, huge vertical, heaps of snow, lots of off-piste terrain, steep.....definitel y an expert skiers mountain.  Kind of hard to get to, apparently, but worth the flight and drive.
Here is an article from Ski Canada from a couple of years ago: http://www.skicanadamag.com/Images/Uploads/2008/09WIN_Revelstoke.pdf
Might be a bit outdated, as apparently they have done a lot to improve the grooming and lift service there.  They are investing a lot of money there, and it is becoming a serious resort and big draw for expert skiers, somewhat like Jackson Hole, I would guess...... but with bigger mountains ;-)

There is a video clip at Ski Television:  http://tv.snowsportsculture.com/
Click on the "Destinations" tab, and go to page 3 for Revelstoke.
Hope you find something useful.
Have a great President's Day holiday.
