What the Snomad Community Says
Revelstoke's awards are backed by the experiences of real skiers and snowboarders who have explored the mountain themselves.
Advanced Snowboarder Francis - “Absolutely love the riding at this resort...incredibly long groomers that cannot be beat, a plethora of gladed areas with a steady steep pitch; big open bowls if you are willing to do a little boot packing, crazy drops and places that I couldn't even ride if I could get to them!”
Expert Snowboarder Sophia - “I was very happily surprised by the snow in Revy. Really good deep powder days during December, with awesome tree lines, chutes and drops to hit!”
Advanced Skier Doug - “One of the best places to ski if you want fresh powder every day.”
What Makes the Snomad Awards Different?
Unlike other ski industry awards that rely on paid nominations or allow resorts to collect their own votes, the Snomad Ski Resort Awards are determined exclusively by verified ratings from real skiers and snowboarders who have experienced these resorts first-hand.
This approach ensures that winning resorts receive recognition based on genuine guest satisfaction rather than marketing budgets or social media follower counts. Every award reflects the experiences and opinions of the skiing and snowboarding community, making the results a useful guide for anyone planning their next mountain adventure.
