Nestled between the Monashee and Selkirk mountain ranges, Revelstoke has long been known as an epicentre for Canadian ski touring, split boarding and mountaineering. Defined by soaring peaks, champagne pow, and some of the best tree skiing in the world, the terrain surrounding this classic B.C. town has become infamous amongst the backcountry setting.

Located in the heart of downtown Revelstoke, The Copeland provides an authentic combination of old-world charm and new-world amenities, providing guests with a vibrant and unique hub to rest and recharge for the adventures that await.
This private group experience will include four nights of accommodation, three full days of skiing, breakfast, lunch, après, and concierge service. Each day’s backcountry skiing/ snowboarding adventure will be guided by one of our fully certified ACMG guides and curated to meet your group’s goals.
