to Mount Mackenzie to the
south. The upstart hill’s
appeal was clear. It held the
potential for a 6,000-foot
run from the top and with no
boundary restrictions, it
offered plenty of space.
After 1975, ski jumping
events had virtually ceased
at Revelstoke.

   But the explosion in heli-
skiing, cat skiing, nordic
skiing and backcountry skiing
in Revelstoke in recent
decades proves that other
forms of the sport have
prevailed. Neighbouring Mount
Mackenzie is now a world-
class downhill resort as
well.

   Clearly, a love of skiing
still grips this mountain
town: this exhibition invites
you to soar with its smitten
residents.
