WHY SUPPORT LOCAL?
Noreen • December 23, 2020

When we nurture local businesses we are able to use local resources, employ local staff at decent wages and serve local patrons. 


When we support local, we also keep money in our community. Oftentimes,the business owners are more likely to live in the community and are more invested in the community’s well being and future.

“These are establishments that are often the character of a neighborhood, a community. The relationships created between customers and those that work in independent business frequently go beyond just purchases — it becomes familial.”


Rembert Browne

When businesses that are local to you are asking for support, it doesn’t have to mean spending money. It can mean:

  • SHOWING YOUR SUPPORT ONLINE. Write a positive review for your favourite local restaurant, brewery, ski shop, or tour company.
  • FOLLOW YOUR FAVE LOCAL BUSINESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. Engage with them, this is more powerful than you may think.
  • WEAR THEIR SWAG. Show off your favourite local businesses to your friends and family over Zoom and Google Meet by being a brand rep. Wear your Backside hats and stick your stickers everywhere;)
  • SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR NEWSLETTER . Sign up for emails so that you stay engaged with any online offerings, and to be in the know before you go.

When possible, purchase gift cards! You can buy gift cards to your favourite local restaurant, brewery, or your favourite Mountain Adventure company ;). A financial investment now can change the long-term health and survival of small business. Gift cards can oftentimes be purchased in any denomination!

Ski Day Bliss & Apres Eats at Nico's Pizzeria in Revelstoke After a day carving down the legendary slopes of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, there's nothing quite like the warmth and comfort of a hearty meal and a good drink. On my recent ski trip, I stumbled upon Nico's Pizzeria, a local gem that perfectly captured the apres-ski vibe, and I'm excited to share my experience. Located right in the heart of Revelstoke, Nico's is a casual and welcoming spot that's clearly a favorite with both locals and tourists. The aroma of fresh pasta and bubbling cheese hits you the moment you walk in, promising a delicious and satisfying meal.

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.
