Revelstoke BC - Longest vertical ski run in North America

The recently expanded Revelstoke Mountain Resort has brought a lot of new people to town. Having the longest vertical ski run in North America (1,713 m/5,620 ft) may have something to do with that, but it doesn't tell the whole story. The fact is that, although it has become a major winter destination, Revelstoke is not one of those chic, "cookie-cutter" ski villages. For more than a hundred years, Revelstoke has been a railroad town – the Canadian Pacific Railway is still the town's second largest employer, and the place resonates with down-to-earth authenticity and friendliness. Downtown, you'll find block after block of heritage buildings, (a Heritage Walking Tour brochure is available from the Visitor Centre) and, in summer, a farmers' market and music in the bandshell at Grizzly Plaza.
