Attractions and Activities:

Just footsteps away (or a short ski away, depending on the season) are the MacPherson trails. The trails are unique and spectacular in their wilderness setting and typical of the natural beauty of the area. The trail system winds through a demonstration forest using mainly old logging roads. There is a good variety of terrain to suit all types of skiers. Some trails are flat and easy and there are also a some tough climbs and thrilling descents. The Ole Sandberg Hut, a lovely log cabin on the Main Loop trail provides shelter. There are approximately 22 km (14 mi.) of trails which are all groomed double wide with the club's PB 170 snowcat for both skating and classic technique. There are also some ungroomed single and double wide tracks for those who like to venture into the deep. In the summer, these trails make excellent mountain biking terrain and also host guided or self interpreted walks through the demonstration forest.

If you are interested in other areas for x-c skiing, there are a few other trail systems in the area:

1. The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club also sets a double classic track on the Revelstoke Golf Course.
2. Parks Canada grooms the Meadows in the Sky Parkway in Mt. Revelstoke National Park up to the Monashee Lookout.
3. The Revelstoke Columbia River flats are also a popular spot for x-c skiers. There are no set trails here but the skiing is great here in February and March when the snow is firm.
4. There are also several ski trails off the highway throughout Mt. Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks (Just east of Revelstoke)

If you are more interested in gravity-powered skiing, Revelstoke is the town for you! We have some the fluffiest, most abundant powder in the world, and there are several ways to access this incredible white stuff. Depending on your budget, you can ski from helicopters, snow cats, or chairlifts (inquire about package deals). Of course, there are also many miles of trails for excellent snowmobiling and ski touring. If you don't own the gear, no problem; you can rent it in town.

There are also many summer activities in the area. Just down the road, past Mount MacPherson Trails, try the rock climbing at Begbie Slabs. If you are into hiking and mountaineering, Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks offer some of the most rugged and pristine terrain in southwestern Canada. There are several commercial and natural hot springs in the area, including Albert Canyon, where you can also go whitewater rafting and kayaking. Within walking distance of the lodge are dude ranches for trail riding. Basically, if it happens outdoors, it happens at Revelstoke.

For a more relaxed vacation, stop in at the Revelstoke and Mica dams for tours of these magnificent structures. You may also be interested in the Railway Museum, downtown Revelstoke.
