Revelstoke Mountain Resort says farewell to winter season
Revelstoke Mountain Resort’s 2024-2025 season saw strong Local’s Day numbers and increased Natural Selection presence.
Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) wrapped its 2024-2025 winter season Monday, April 21 with one extra Local’s Day Friday, April 18 and live music at the Paul Mair Plaza. While early spring weather closed lower chunks of the resort leading up to closing day, over 1,100 centimeters of snow kept the resort from cutting the season short.
“A snowy December set the tone early, laying the perfect foundation for the months ahead,” Laura Meggs, RMR communications manager told Revelstoke Mountaineer. “Consistent snowfall paired with stretches of bluebird days made for unforgettable turns all season long.”
With Local’s Day raising over $26,000 for Revelstoke Community Foundation, free Valentine’s Day weddings helping over 20 couples tie the knot and a host of other activities at the resort, the season was filled with highlights.
“We’re proud to look back on a winter marked by deep snow, unforgettable events and a strong sense of community.”
The YETI Natural Selection Tour international snowboarding competition once again brought the finale to Revelstoke’s mountains but kept the action on the resort instead of heading out to the deeper backcountry. With a week filled with events around town and the entire finale taking place at the Montana Bowl, Meggs said YETI Natural Selection highlighted Revelstoke for a worldwide audience.
“The Montana Bowl venue now stands as a lasting legacy, open for riders to explore and enjoy.”
Training programs and competitions for the next generation of winter sport ambassadors were also a point of pride for RMR this year, Meggs said. With She Patrol 2025 booked solid days after registration opened, Grom Con highlighting youth riders from near and far and International Freeskiers & Snowboarders Association qualifier events showcasing rising stars, RMR stayed in the news as a spot for growing talent.
It wasn’t just the next generation taking advantage of the snow this season. Revelstoke local Hans Travnicek earned a shout out from Meggs for the most days skied in the season, with the 74-year-old racking up 143 days on the mountain during the 170-day-long season.
