Description

In the heart of British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains is a jewel for skiers and snowboarders: Revelstoke. This former mining village is now a popular destination for advanced skiers and snowboarders. Cross-country style mountain bikers are also increasingly visiting this destination, which is still little known to the general public.
