Hello Stig,

If you’re coming to Revelstoke then it’s worth checking out Eagle Pass Heliskiing - they exclusively use A-Stars so it’s small group skiing which often means more runs per day and some interesting / varied terrain. They offer day trips as well as multi-day packages. There are lots of trees around Revelstoke so even on snowier days there is normally sufficient visual reference to get flying...

As mentioned by blackdog7, February typically sees more consistent snowfall and March more sunshine - but saying that, there’s a storm forecast tomorrow that’s due to deliver 20-25cm of snow! If you’re after high alpine lines and / or glacier skiing then the later you leave it in the season then the more likely you will be to access this sort of terrain. The local ski area (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) has a graph of historical snow levels that will let you see how things have accumulated over previous seasons.

Enjoy your trip!
