SMOOTH LANDING. Mackenzie Landing--Revelstoke Mountain Resort's latest real estate release since the successful sale of Nelsen Lodge resort condominiums in March--proved an enormous success last month, with over 80 percent of the single-family estate lots snapped up within a matter of hours. Mackenzie Landing--featuring a select number of lots zoned for helicopter access--offers easy access to over 500,000 acres of pristine Selkirk Tangiers heli-skiing terrain. The ski in, ski out neighbourhood is within walking distance of the village core and has attracted world-wide attention with buyers coming from across Canada and the US and as far away as Britain.

LIFT ME HIGHER! In less than a month, Revelstoke Mountain Resort will take its first giant leap towards international status, when its $22-million, eight-person gondola and high-speed quad chairlift open for business, on December 22nd, 2007. When final testing is completed, the new gondola and lift will whisk skiers to a height of 7,299 feet--in just over 13 minutes! The resort's new fleet of Prinoth snowcats are now compacting snow on the upper mountain, while an expanded Day Lodge will offer stunning floor-to-ceiling views/ Local and international response has been overwhelming in advance of the inaugural ski season: over 1,400 season passes have already been sold to skiers from across British Columbia, Alberta, Colorado and Washington, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Australia.

MOVING MOUNTAINS. The incredible transformation of Mount Mackenzie--long an exclusive haven for cat- and heli-skiers--continues at breakneck speed. Trail cutting proceeded this fall at a rate of 1.24 acres per day, with 1,500 acres of terrain and 27 new trails anticipated on opening day. Several of the existing ski hill runs have been brushed and cleared, while others--like the legendary Snow Rodeo--have been expanded and contoured into entirely new trails. When complete at build-out, Revelstoke Mountain Resort will be home to over 20 lifts, more than 100 runs, and the longest vertical ski trail in North America (6,000 feet) -- transforming Mount Mackenzie into one of the world's most sought-after resorts.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS. With the opening of North America's most significant resort development in over a quarter century - Revelstoke Mountain Resort is bracing for an exciting year. Resort condominiums, the first village townhomes, and additional single family estate lots are scheduled for sale this coming March. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for avid skiers and savvy homebuyers.
