Skiing at Revelstoke, and then Silverstar (first time in BC), I have to say Silverstar just did not even have a chance to compete with the terrain, snow quality, people, and view's compared to Revelstoke.
Revelstoke is going to be a destination I hit every year.
Flying in to Kelowna this winter, I have a trip planned Feb 25th - March 1st with some buds (unfortunatly, a couple intermediate level snowboarders). The plan is 6 days of skiing, at least 3 at Revelstoke (hoping for more but circumstances say otherwise), and 3 days elsewhere.
The intermediates really want to try Big White, however with my experience with Silverstar last year left me wanting for more, I've heard Big White offers a similar experience.
I've been really pushing to hit up Red Mtn as I've heard amazing things from there.
So, calling all locals to the area, and tourists, I want an honest opinion about Big White. None of us are real big park skiers (although I like to hit the odd jump, box, rail, pipe from time to time), I really dig everything else too (bowls, tree's, steeps, etc).
Help me legitimately persuade my friends from Big White (unless its really a place to hit up).
