Revelstoke Mountain Resort announced today it will be opening a week earlier than scheduled.
The ski hill will be run the Revelation Gondola and Stoke Chair on Saturday, Nov. 28, and Sunday, Nov. 29, – a week ahead of the expected opening date of Dec. 5. Tickets will be $50 and the lifts will run from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The resort will then close down until Dec. 4, when it will re-open with all lifts running for the rest of the winter.
According to a press release issued late Friday afternoon, the base depth at the weather plot at 1950m is more than a metre deep.
"Coverage looks great on the upper mountain,” states Steve Parsons, Director of Mountain Operations for Revelstoke Mountain Resort.
