of Canada and just past the Rocky Mountains in the Selkirk Mountains. My family and I
came to Revelstoke to ski because Revelstoke has amazing skiing. My favorite run is
Gracias Ridge. It is a run in the Greeley bowl. You have to hike to get there after you
get off the Stoke chair and traverse through the North Bowl. When you finally get there
you will probably have to take a rest. After you rest you go straight and you get tons of
powder or go the other way and run in to a gigantic cliff. So, go straight.
We had four friends to ski with when we got here but Jen and Jack left after the first
week. Nick and Bruce stayed for longer. They showed us their favourite spots on the
mountain. One day we had 43cm of snow, so we all crammed into our car to get to the
mountain. It was too deep to get Bruce's car out of the apartment driveway. We rushed
to the ski hill and waited until the lift opened. That day was awesome because we got
snow all over our faces from the powder spraying up. It snowed for almost two weeks
straight after that with 10 cm or more each day. After our friends left there was a
freestyle ski competition called SWATCH. It's the biggest in the world! Sadly it was
cancelled by high avalanche risk. On the radio they said the risk was brutal. We met a
competitor and he gave us a tip to ski better. Revelstoke is a amazing place to ski but
we have to leave soon. I hope I can come again.
