WELCOME TO WINTER!
And just like that, the bikes are put away and the skis are coming out! Fall seemed to fly by in a flash, and now we’re counting down the days to opening. It’s been a busy and productive season for the Tourism Revelstoke team, from annual tactical planning and budgeting to event support, trade shows, and spreading the stoke for the season ahead. Early indicators are looking strong for winter 2026, with many of our partners already tracking ahead year-over-year for Q1. The momentum is building, and we’re excited to kick off another incredible winter in Revelstoke. Let ‘er snow, let ‘er snow.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT.
We’d like to acknowledge the Illecillewaet Greenbelt Society for maintaining green spaces in our community. This nonprofit has been putting in a ton of work over the last year and is making moves to expand the Nordic skiing offering in Revelstoke this winter.
