Announcing British Columbia's hottest new mountain resort. Leave it to Outside Magazine to get the skinny on Revelstoke, where world-class skiing and fresh powder can be found everyday-- whether by lift (there's a high-speed quad traveling 2,073 vertical feet in 6.3 minutes), snowcat (for the impressive off-piste slopes), or helicopter (where guides take avid skiers to secluded spots in the Selkirk and Monashee mountains). Situated on Mount Mackenzie, Revelstoke Mountain Resort offers 500,000 acres of skiable terrain. The place to stay will be the swanky Nelsen Lodge, located just steps from the lifts and heli-center. There's a heated pool and four-bedroom penthouse, to boot. (Opening date for the hotel not yet announced.) The lifts open on December 22, 2007.
