REVELSTOKE FOR NEW YEARS, ANYONE?
Carls • December 17, 2017

In honour of our New Years trip to Revelstoke coming up in 10 days, we wanted to reminisce on the unreal time we had at their opening weekend at the beginning of December.


The base of the hill was balmy, lacking snow, which always lends a deceiving tone to the unknowing. But we knew what was waiting for us at the top.


We all spent a good chunk of the day cruising down the Ripper chair slopes, and sometimes we couldn't even see our knees because there was so much powder. It was a real shame honestly...I have very nice knees.



I think this video from Revelstoke's Youtube page does an awesome job of summarizing the stoke of opening weekend, and all that Revelstoke has to offer. And if some of the lines intimidate you, don't worry. There is fresh stuff aplenty on runs for all ability levels across the mountain. And if even that doesn't do it for you - you'll want to do it for the views.

Revelstoke Après: Monashee Spirits is a MUST! Okay fam, let's talk about the perfect way to cap off a day on the slopes in Revelstoke, BC. You've carved some serious powder, your legs are burning (in a good way!), and you're ready to relax and refuel. Enter: Monashee Spirits Distillery. This place is a must-visit, whether you're a whisky aficionado, a cocktail connoisseur, or just looking for a cozy spot to warm up after a day in the snow. First off, the whisky. Can we talk about the collection? Over 700 bottles! It's a whisky library, a whisky museum, a whisky…well, you get the picture. They've got whiskies from all over the world – Scotland, Japan, you name it. Imagine sinking into a comfy chair after a long day of skiing, a warming dram of your favorite whisky in hand. Pure bliss. Seriously, if you can't find a whisky you love here, you might need to re-evaluate your life choices. Now, I'm no whisky expert (yet!), but thankfully, the folks at Monashee Spirits know their stuff. They offer these amazing tasting flights, which are perfect for newbies like me and seasoned pros alike. It's a guided tour of flavor, and they change it up regularly, so there's always something new to try. But hold on, whisky lovers, because that's not all! Monashee Spirits is more than just a whisky haven. They also craft incredible cocktails using their own distilled spirits (and other carefully selected ingredients). Think creative concoctions, classic cocktails done right, and seasonal specials that will blow your mind. Picture this: you've just come off the slopes, the snow is falling outside, and you're sipping a Monashee Mule or a Topless Girl on a Bike in Paris (yes, that's a drink!). Pure après-ski perfection. They clearly put the same care and passion into their cocktails as they do their whiskies.
