The Frisby cabin is a great place to warm up and dry out your gear while having lunch.

Parking
The main staging area is located the end of Westside Road, under the transmission powerlines. you can ride over from the Boulder staging area on Streeter Street trail, which is the connector for Boulder and Frisby Mountains.

Trail Fees
Once you have geared up, head over to the ticket booth at the trail head. The daily trail access fee is $30 per rider. We accept cash, debit or credit. If you are a member, please scan your membership card at the ticket booth. Revelstoke Snowmobile Club grooms seven nights a week and twice on Friday and Saturday trail conditions dependent.

You may choose to spend the day riding the groomed trails or head straight to the cabin. Remember: Constant throttle speed will help to preserve the trails. Don’t forget to sign in and out at the Frisby Cabin before heading past. If there are vehicles in the parking lot overnight, we will check the logbook to see if anyone has not signed out.

Once in the alpine the common landmarks are Summit Lookout, Little Cabin, Skinny Ridge, Green Tower or all the way back to The Burn. There are three large signposts across the ridge passed the Summit Lookout to help you navigate. The weather can change quickly in Revelstoke. When a storm rolls in, it can be very difficult to cross the ridge in a whiteout.
