Emily Childs, Tonje Kvivik and Janelle Yip sure think so.
The terrain both inbounds and in the backcountry are generally worth the trip out there.
Pillow lines, gladed trees and steep chutes litter the mountainside.

However, Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a little bit unique compared to other nearby resorts.
There are only two chairlifts: The Stoke and The Ripper and, of course, the gondola.
Tonje spent a winter season in France before a friend recommended her to Revelstoke three years ago.
The resort in France differed enormously from Revy.
Janelle chirped in, It weeds out only the strong can reach the powder.
Jokes aside, finding the inbounds powder often requires traversing, boot packing or sidestepping.
For comparison: It makes Alta traverses look short and easy…like… really short and really easy.

Tonje explained the logistics of Gracias Ridge.
You come down from your line and think Yeah that was sick!
The area is often full of spectators as well.
When you do something cool people cheer for you, they really hype you up.
Yeah everyone is always trying to backflip, said Janelle.
Every day you look over and someone just tried to do a backflip off a cliff or something.
Everyone is sending all the time.
The hype is real, added Emily.
Their weapons of choice?
The cost of living is higher, the lift lines are long and theres more traffic in town.
