Revelstoke is BC's newest big-noise investment. A few years ago it was just a small town on the Trans-Canadian highway with a local hill plus cat and heli-based riding. I knew it as a place the Greyhound stopped on the way from Calgary to Kamloops, and a CMH helicopter base. Two years ago that all changed, with the cat operator selling out to what is now "Revelstoke Mountain Resort" (RMR), who also picked up the local heli operator (Selkirk Tangiers). They inherited a large steep hill, which with the lift extensions built for the 2008/9 season currently has the largest vertical in North America.

That's snowboarding but using helicopters instead of ski lifts to get up the hill. Of course "the hill" tends to be tucked away in the back country so there's no one else there. Fresh tracks every time, all the time. Accept no substitutes.

You can heliboard in any number of places. Those I'm aware of include: Canada, Alaska, New Zealand, Italy, Nepal, Greenland, and the USA. Where you go depends on how you like to balance the riding, your creature comforts, and your safety.
