Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) is a ski resort on Mount Mackenzie, just outside Revelstoke, British Columbia in Canada. Currently, the resort has a 1713m (5620ft) vertical drop, Revelstoke has the longest vertical descent of any ski resort in North America. In terms of size, it is about the same as other major resorts, such as Breckenridge and Panorama, and about a third the size of Whistler-Blackcomb. When completed, it will have , which will make it the largest in North America.〔Revelstoke Mountain Resort, Monashee Estates Purchasers Guide, Disclosure Statement〕 ==History== Mount Mackenzie and the surrounding area has hosted a number of skiing operations for many years. Starting in the late 1960s a single two-person lift has been operational on the lower slopes, forming the basis of a resort known as Powder Springs. More recently, both Sno-Cat and Heliskiing operations have operated in the bowls on the upper elevations. The resort opened for the first time on December 22, 2007, and was thought to be the biggest North American ski resort debut in twenty years. However the event was overshadowed by the death of an Edmonton ski instructor who disappeared on the mountain's "Jalapeno" run and whose body was found in a tree well three days later on Christmas Day.〔R Gandia, ("Edmonton skier's body found in B.C." ), ''Edmonton Sun'', 27 December 2007〕〔("Alberta man found dead at Revelstoke ski resort" ), ''Calgary Herald'', 27 December 2007〕 During the summer of 2008, further trail cutting in the "North Bowl" area extended the skiable area and added a number of expert runs and glades. The Ripper, a second four-person chairlift, was added in 2008. The gondola was extended down the hill in December 2008, from the original base area to the new village area further down the hill. With this extension the lift-served vertical increased to , overtaking Whistler's , making it the largest in North America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Revelstoke Mountain Resort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
