Opening Day

Yesterday was opening day for Revelstoke, after weeks of hearing about other people already riding, and us barely getting by hiking in the woods for snow, it couldn’t have come soon enough. I have to say, it was the best opening day I’ve ever experienced. We got there around 7:30 lifts ran at 8:30, the first group in line was at the gondola at 4 in the morning waiting to ride. We got there at just the right time though, about five minute after we got there the line began to grow, and grow, and grow. After getting off the gondola we proceeded to the aptly named Stoke Chair, going up all we saw was nonstop powder everywhere, people were dropping fresh lines and whooping it up it was amazing. We got to the top and dropped into at least a foot of crisp blower pow, things could not have been any better. The rest of the day we still managed to find powder despite the massive amount of people riding.

Now we have to wait four days to ride again, RMR is shut Monday to Thursday for some final touch ups and opens fully again Friday the 4th, just enough time for some more powder, and I can’t wait.
