SLEDDING

From November to May, Revelstoke gets between 50 to 60 ft (31 to 37 m) of snow in the most accessible big-mountain terrain there is.

Pick up the basics and have someone else safely handle the route by booking a tour with a certified guide via a local operator. Ride single or with a partner as you safely venture farther out into the winter wilderness than you’ve ever been before.

Download Boonmaps on your cell phone to access free trail maps that can be used along with GPS tracking while you’re out of cell service. Have avalanche equipment, know how to use it and make sure you’ve checked Avalanche.ca for the bulletin. After you do, make it over to the groomed access at Boulder and Frisby Mountains that’ll shepherd you comfortably into the alpine. Remember to pay attention to the trail fees for grooming. If you want to rent a machine or hone your skills, there are several options in town for rentals and multi-day clinics. If you already have ninja status and just want to get kicking, aim for the expansive open ridgetops, basins and face shots waiting for you on Sale Mountain or Keystone-Standard Basin, to the north. There’s also Mount Hall, to the south. Watch out for seasonal and permanent caribou closures—they’re for real!

Revelstoke Snowmobile Club grooms a 100 km trail system on Boulder Mountain and Frisby Ridge. Both of these areas are managed and have a pay to use system. Ride with a Daily Trail Pass for $25 or purchase a yearly membership via our website. All fees go towards supporting the Snowmobile Club, an important part of Revelstoke’s community since 1968.
