World-renowned for its epic powder, Revelstoke Mountain Resort<\/a> is experiencing hotter and drier summers, with increasingly inconsistent winter snow.<\/b> Annual snow stats reported by the city shows the snowpack has consistently shrunk by about one meter (39 inches) since the late 1990s. According to a climate change study<\/a> that took place in November of 2024, if emissions continue to increase at the current rate, the average annual temperature will rise by 4 degrees in the next 25-50 years. As skiers, we know this means more rain and likely, less snow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

March 2026 reported one of the snowiest months for Revelstoke Mountain Resort, yet on closing day April 12, riding the gondola down was \u201chighly recommended\u201d as snow conditions changed quickly.<\/b> Revelstoke Mountain Resort advised skiers that the lower half of the mountain had significantly less snow than the summit, and what was left was a \u201cmixed bag\u201d of conditions. The resort also had to push back its opening day in December this season (2025-26) a week due to lack of snow at lower elevations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
