Non-Traditional Equipment
Here are some outlines defining the types of equipment permitted at Revelstoke Mountain Resort to promote safe recreational practices for all guests.
Winter Alpine Responsibility Code
The Alpine Responsibility Code serves as a standardized guideline for guest behavior at ski resorts across North America, including guidelines for allowed equipment types at Revelstoke Mountain Resort.
(1) Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.
All sliding/alpine equipment must have metal edges to help riders change direction and stop quickly. “Fat Bikes” are not permitted regardless of the tires.
(5) You must prevent runaway equipment.
If equipment is detachable or not attached to the rider, a restraining device or automatic braking system is required to prevent runaway incidents in case of a fall or crash.
(6) You must know how and be able to load, ride, and unload lifts safely. If you need assistance, ask the lift attendant.
Ski bikes are not permitted on chairlifts due to the risk of falling or entangling. The extra weight of this type of equipment over non-attached equipment such as a snow skate significantly increases the hazard to both the rider and other individuals accessing the ski hill. This equipment may still be used on gondolas or surface lifts, provided it meets all other policy requirements. Other equipment such as snow skates or no-boards that can safely be held in the riders hands while on a chairlift are permitted. Riders must be able to unload the lift on their equipment, not on foot.
