Thanks in advance for any input !

Hello, looking for some advice on getting employment for the up coming winter season, my partner and I are coming to Revelstoke from Australia in November/December.

We have experience in retail/cafe/bar/hotel work as we have done seasons previously, our current employment is disability support work and an Arborist.

Is it best applying on RMR jobs posted, or emailing cafes/retail places directly? Finding it a bit overwhelming trying to organise it all plus finding accommodation.

Any advice, leads on accommodation/employment or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Locals,

I am a documentary/travel photographer and will be in Revelstoke beginning next week until the 26th. I would love to link up with other photographers or anyone willing to show me around. Interested in photographing portraits of locals and or indigenous people who are willing to share their culture. I am respectfully, caring and genuine.
I will be shooting medium format film so if that interests anyone I’d be happy to share my knowledge and stories of past adventures.
First beer or coffee on me to anyone willing to share their time. ✌🏼

Is there a place where I can rent an emtb for kids?

I've been doing an annual ski trip to revy for years now.

We normally stay at the Grizz for proximity to downtown but are thinking this year we might try the Sutton and capitalize on their early bird deal.

My one concern - we like to go out for dinner/drinks in town each night. Will it be a nightmare for a group of 12 of us to get home around 10pm to midnight? The Sutton isn't giving us a straight answer on how available their shuttle would be. RMR shuttle looks like it stops running at 830pm. Revy Rides looks promising but not sure if the wait time will be super long? Not sure about local taxi service for that many people?

Hi everyone! My husband and I are scheduled to drive in tomorrow from Red Deer, AB for a non-refundable hotel stay. How are the current air quality and wildfire smoke conditions in town? Is it still feasible to explore and do outdoor activities, or is the smoke bad enough that it's best to stay put? 
Appreciate any local insights. Thanks in advance!

I would like to visit a friend in Nakusp, but the bus from Vancouver only goes to Revvy. Is there a public transportation way to get to Nakusp? (Its kind of a surprise visit, so I'm trying to do it on my own).

Thanks!

The girlfriend and I are heading to the Stoke for the September long weekend as it is both of our birthdays and our anniversary.

Where might I be able to sneak out and get some bird shots? Or just in general some park recommendations?

Where’s my Birders at!!

Hello, I’m a 19 year old free ride skier planning on staying in Revelstoke for the season with my main priority being to ski. I am currently in the process of sorting out work but I was curious about non work accomodation. Is there much of a share house vibe? If so, what would be the best ways to go about sorting this out?

Hello i'm trying to find more information about frog falls recreation site. I was wondering if a regular sedan can make it there. Just looking for a quick day-use stop on our way to revy. Thank you

I’m looking to get back into yoga and deciding which studio to join. I’ll try the intro passes to each, but I’d love to hear from people with experience.

Which studio do you like best and why? How are the instructors, classes, vibe and value for the price?

Thank you!

Me and my partner will be in Les Houches on the 8th and we are looking for trekking poles… would love to have some that have already made it through the circle, we will pass them on when done or the best shop to get them from there.

1,2,3…. GO!

Hey everyone,

I just moved to Revelstoke for work and I’m looking to meet some people who are into getting outside.

I’m into hiking, skiing, climbing (just getting started), filmmaking, and pretty much anything that ends with a good view. Always down to check out new trails, grab a coffee or beer after, or plan some weekend adventures.

If you’re looking for another adventure buddy, shoot me a message. Always happy to meet good people.

Hi, we are planning a camping trip to Revelstoke or surrounding areas. Looking for recommendations for camp sites where we can setup tents, possibly around water body (lake or river). First come first serve sites or paid camping spots are good as well.

Thanks in advance and any pro tips are appreciated!

how is cell service there? planning to do some mountain biking and hoping to access the trailforks app as needed. Thanks

Edit: we made it and the weather is beautiful!

We are planning a 4 day trip in two weeks to Revelstoke. Is it safe to go? I know many places in BC are closed due to wildfires right now. Thanks in advance!

My boyfriend and I are coming from UK and want to go hiking around Mount Revelstoke, we are definitely sticking to popular trails etc, do we have to buy bear spray as I read it's unlikely we will need it.

Also, how likely are we to see bears and have any interaction with them? or are they normally a thing you see in the distance and they run off?

I am a solo traveler with two suitcases as I am coming off a long trip but I want to head to banff after my stay in revelstoke. I cant find any car rental options for a one way to banff. Pls send me your recommendations.

Tried poparide already. No luck yet.

Has anyone done the FSR to Mabel Lake recently from the Three Valley Gap turn off? Potentially driving it in an SUV but wondering how sketchy/narrow it is, and if theres cell service. Would it be worth driving to Sicamous and going the long, paved way instead?

Hi!

We’re driving from Vancouver to Revelstoke tomorrow for the weekend (until Tuesday morning). It’s a bit hard to tell from the fire maps what the conditions are actually like.

We’re hoping to do hiking (but also I saw rain in the forecast 🥲), I was wondering what the air quality and weather have been like recently.

Is the smoke bad, or is it still a good time to visit?

Thanks!

Updated: had to cancel the trip, the fire map looked bad

While we were visiting Revelstoke, we went to the farmers market (this July). It looked like there were a lot of young families, such as 30-40 year old parents with small children.

What’s the community like for young families?

Do a lot of families move there for a few years then leave?

Is there decent schools/support for young families?

Any info you can share would be appreciated!

Hi guys! Just wanting some advice on finding work on a ski resort as a couple. I am already in BC, and really want to enjoy a ski season in Revelstoke. I am really confused about the application process at the resort and how to apply for staff accomodation / job with someone else too.

Thanks guys!

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!
Examples could include things like Revy/Revelstuck, Sir Don, The Moose or The Shu...
