Less than 2 weeks until King of the Mountain kicks off at Revelstoke Resort! This hybrid events merges the world of freeride and freestyle by incorporating 2 unique courses over the 2 day competition. For anyone coming from afar we've added a bonus community day on Friday where registered competitors can get 50% off lift tickets to ride an extra day, meet some people, and get some shots.

This event is based around giving back to the riders and having some fun with competition. The first day is set on an enhanced freeride course that has been closed to the public for a week to save snow, and to build jumps, hips and sends off all the natural features. Last season it snowed 20cm overnight before the event day and combined with the weeks snowfall it was nearly waist deep in the venue.

Day 2 is a traditional slopestyle run with jumps and rail, with an end of day bonus race that totals nearly 3000 vertical feet for cash. Combined best scores from both days crowns the King of the Mountain.

I was mad hyped to compete in this event coming from Breck and was ready to book flights but the shuttle from Kelowna airport to Revy is $150+ round trip and kinda seemed like a lot of logistics so i bailed on the trip. I'd reconsider if anyone knows a better way to get from Kelowna to Revelstoke. I was just at Revy about 2 weeks ago and it was an insane mtn. Seems like a super sick event!!
 
really want to! looks like a sick comp! Just need to get to Kicking Horse after for the FWQ and it's kinda tough to make logistics work for that coming from Utah. Trying to get a friend to come, hopefully I can make it!

Wish you could have made the trip ! Travel in the Interior of BC is expensive, next time your thinking of coming look for rideshares and check the Revysell Facebook page!
 
Gonna need a turn around or conditions will be shite. The lord giveth and taketh away. After a record setting dec n start of jan the polar vortex turned the taps off. We have seen very little snow in 6 weeks and it looks like it'll remain that way for at least another 1-2 weeks

Yeah snow has been slow but we have the benefit of closing the freeride course this week and hand crafting it into goodness, snow or no snow, it will be rad.
