I'm thinking about moving to Revelstoke as a neat job opportunity has likely shown its face. I've never been there, so can you guys dish some dirt?

mmmm small mountain town, not a tonne to do but ski,snowmobile and in the summer fish. little tiny mountain at the moment. An extreme amazing mountain going in for next year. like amazing powder and biggest vertical drop in north america. gondola going from the town to the main village on the mountain. should be epic pow skiing. once that gets in the town will be good, until then, have fun.

If you could get your hands on some realestate you could probably make a fair bit of cash in a few years when the new skihill is there.

yeah i claimed but just to let you know the cheapest buildings are starting at 1000$ a square foot...so that means for a condo it will be at the minimum $750,000... shits not cheap, god damn whistler prices.

I'm glad you made this thread because I'm in the same boat.  I have decided to go but can't figure out whether to make the move start of december or right after the new year when flights are a little cheaper.  Revel stoke is going to have some wicked riding and I want to be there.

kicking horse is still relitively unknown and doesnt have the terrain that revelstoke has. kicking horse has steep terrain but lack of quality snow ruins it
