The score is based on these quality points out of 10.
Terrain: 9.5 - All around my kind of mountain. Lots of steeps, opened up gladed tree'd areas. Some minor traverses at the bottom.
Snow Pack: 8.0 - I really don't know what the overall base snow level is. I couldn't find this information anywhere, other than the current base (183cm) which isn't that impressive. Either they are trying to hide the lower elevation snow levels or the don't measure it. The alpine gets tons! (1200cm) but I don't know how reliable that is.
Snow Management: 8.5 - Mostly left open, steep enough where they don't need groomers on every run.
Lift Access: 9.0 - This hill does it right. All high speed, gondolas and quad chairs. No wasted time, just straight up efficient. The break in the middle of the Gondola, where you have to get off and then wait in line for the second component is the only downside.
Day Lodge & Amenities: 9.0 - Great lodge at the base with a couple fancy bars and restaurants, a mid mountain lodge with bar and a heating room at the top. An easy going pub at the bottom would be a nice addition.
Cross Country Trails: 7.0 - No xc at Revelstoke mountain resort but 7km outside of town there are 26km of trails.
Ticket Price: 9.5 - $76 Adult full day, $1049 Adult season
Distance to town: 10.0 - 2km. It doesn't get much better than this. You could walk to town if you needed!
Quality of Town: 9.5 - It is a quaint mountain town. Small main street with shops on both sides. No malls or big block shopping centers.
Accomodation: 7.5 - It is hard to find a place to stay. There are hotels and other places but they get booked up quick! Needs a few more options.
Overall: 88.5
