Super fun and stylish 5-pin bowling alley right in the heart of downtown Revelstoke. This place has…read morea full bar, pool table and 8 lanes of bowling available. There was also a skate/snowboard shop in the building but it was closed when we went. It was definitely my kind of joint: snowboard & ski videos playing on flat screen TVs, good dance music bumpin, local art on the walls, black lights on the lanes, and great service from the bar. There were kids, teens, and adults there all having fun. The place was packed when we showed up around 7pm so we played a couple rounds of pool and had some cocktails before we got on the lanes. Not sure if they do reservations but I might suggest checking that out if you are going on a weekend. 5-pin was different but fun and challenging. You use small bowling balls with no finger holes and get three turns per frame instead of two. The points multiply if you strike or spare in the first two turns of the frame, but not on the third turn. I enjoyed the uniqueness of the game but lost 3 of 4 games to my wife. The only draw back to The Cabin was the limited food menu, but I wouldn't take a star away from them for that. Because we started around 8 and bowled 4 games, many of the restaurants had closed by the time we were done. We ended up finding some great pizza at the local bar, The Village Idiot. In summary: great drinks, fun atmosphere, and friendly staff. Not your typical bowling alley. I definitely plan to come back on my next trip to Revelstoke!

I showed up on a Friday when it was raining at the bottom and lift lines were still 45 plus minutes. That's what you get for your $200. Lodges are old and offer food that is sub-par compared to other resorts in its price range. It's clear that investment has prioritized building a ski village - I guess so you can stare at the muddy slope that is supposed to have snow on it. Here's some pictures to give you a taste of weekday lines

Looked in the shop and they had a pair of ski pants I just loved, but not in my size. I appreciated that they made the right call on sizing and didn't try to put me in something too big. A year passes and I'm still looking (OK, didn't try much in the meanwhile). Turns out their Peak Performance gear is what I need, and you can't get it in the States (I'm from Seattle, Washington). I call them up, they have the right size, it's on sale, and they're willing to ship to me over the border (nobody else would). These folks are wonderful. Be sure to stop by if you're in the area!

Nice ski resort with a lot of greens and blues although the greens here are a bit on the…read morechallenging side but all very long runs with some open areas. Snow condition ok when we were there with temps in the mid 20s, a bit icy in the more shaded areas, better on the sunnier slopes. There are several unattended boot/bag storage areas and shelves. No view of Lake Louise from the mountain however although still scenic with great views of snow covered peaks. The lodges tend to get really crowded during peak lunch times. Only thing is getting there is 40 minutes drive from Banff and buses are usually packed and sometimes late so if trying to get there for the 10 am mountain tour (2 hours organized by skill level) could be tricky unless you leave much earlier. One day we got there at exactly 3 minutes past 10 and all the tours had left with no host in sight (generally there are no resort staff anywhere to be seen to help out unlike at US resorts). If staying closer to town center you'll get picked up later and more likely have to wait as the buses will be full by the time they get to your location. Ski/board storage in luggage compartment under the bus, some have limited shelves some just in a jammed pile. Might want to consider putting skis in a bag or get some protection for the bindings as people are not at all careful when loading and unloading. They still give out trail maps in the lodges. The outdoor ice bar is a fun place for a drink.

There are lots of lots and they open them up as needed. After unloading in the clearly marked zone, which was well organized, I was able find a spot in the main lot. There are plenty of beginner to intermediate runs and I love that the runs are long, especially compared to other places in the area. The back side is a lot of fun and there are so many lifts, you can mix it up and never really get bored. The food selection here is pretty good as they have a ramen place, which really hit the spot on a ski day.
