From avalanche safety information, hiring sleds or guides, to where to ride and stay, we’ve got you covered for Snowmobiling in Revelstoke, BC.
Revelstoke is home to one of the oldest and largest snowmobile clubs in British Columbia and offers some of the best snowmobiling in Canada thanks to the incredible terrain and huge snowfalls.
The Club is a not-for-profit organization that holds an agreement with the BC government to maintain over 150 kilometers of trails on Boulder Mountain and Frisby Ridge.
With groomed trails, terrain to suit skill levels ranging from beginner to extreme, and the main staging areas for Boulder Mountain and Frisby Ridge located within a 5-minute drive from the Revelstoke Town Centre, there are no better places to go snowmobiling than these two areas.
Boulder Mountain:
Boulder is one of Revelstoke’s premier riding areas. Groomed trails lead riders to terrain from open bowls to technical tree-riding and chute climbing. The iconic Boulder cabin is also located here and is a great place to warm up and have lunch.
The main staging area is located at 4177 Westside Road which is also the location of the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club’s Welcome Centre. For the first-timer or returning rider, here, our friendly staff can answer all your questions about avalanche conditions, maps, trip planning, and help make your visit to Revelstoke memorable.
This location also has parking staff to guide you to the best parking location based on your rig size. Not to be confused with the West Boulder Trail head, off highway 1, which does not have a parking lot or Welcome Centre. Here, guests staying at the West end of town can ride right from their doors.
Frisby Ridge:
Frisby Ridge is another of Revelstoke’s premier riding areas, offering something for everyone. Groomed trails leading to the alpine will give you stunning valley views, open bowls, and expert tree riding. Frisby Ridge also has a cabin called the Feldinger Hut, which is a great place to warm up and dry out.
The main staging area is located at the end of Westside Road under the transmission powerlines, right near Glacier House Resort. You can also ride over from the Boulder staging area on Streeter Street trail, which is the connector for Boulder and Frisby Mountains.Remember: please pack out anything you brought in. If you don’t want to carry your garbage, there are trash cans at the cabins, please use them.
