Know your limits

Riding beyond our groomed trails means entering avalanche terrain, where proper knowledge & equipment are essential for your safety, & potentially for self-rescue. Know your limitations; if you’re unfamiliar with the terrain, don’t blindly follow tracks. Always inform someone of your plans & expected return time. Stay prepared. Ride smart. Put safety first.

Communicate

Carry a reliable satellite communication device; cell reception is not guaranteed in the mountains around Revelstoke. Daylight, weather and avalanche conditions are all contributing factors in our response times. If you think you need Search and Rescue, don’t delay calling 911 or activating the SOS feature on your satellite device.
