TOP 5 THINGS TO EXPECT On A #RAFTBACKSIDE Trip

This is the adventure you want to be sharing with friends, be sure they are signed up to go with you as they will want to be comparing stories with you on the ride home! Everyone is going to have an opinion about what to do and prepare for, however here are some tips to consider as you prepare for your adventure.


1. Expect to Get Wet.


Dress for the occasion, it may be refreshing to cool off from the heat on a hot day however the trip runs rain or shine, so be prepared for the elements! If you are not getting wet, you may be doing something wrong!


2. Expect to Be Cold.


You are rafting on a mountain river, even in the summer it can be cold! It may be cloudy, it may rain, you will be cold at some point during the day regardless of the air temperature. 
Wetsuits are recommended and you may want to wear wool socks in your water shoes!


3. Expect to Have a Long Bus Ride.


From our #yeg departure it is a solid 4.5 hour drive without stops, be prepared to nap, read a book, watch a movie or chat with a friend. Enjoy the bus ride, it’s apart of the journey! Bring a snack, a water bottle and a bag with your towel and dry clothes for after the day is done.


4. Expect Not to Be Able to Bring Anything on the Raft.


There is very little space in a raft and the raft will be getting wet, so anything on you can easily be damaged. Plan to be present and enjoy the moment, leave the rest behind!


5. Expect to Receive Some Pre Trip Training From Our Guide.


Our rafting guides want you to have fun and enjoy your time with them, therefore pre trip training is a requirement in order for the day to be a success. The training will answer and question or concerns you have and leave you feeling ready for a good time and a great trip.


Expect To Have FUN.


You will smile, you will remember this trip for years to come, you will tell your friends all about it and they will wish they had joined you!

Monashee Spirits, Revelstoke, Apres,

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.
