## Quick Summary

<p>Revelstoke's 5,620 feet of vertical is one of North America's biggest drops, and here's what matters for families: your intermediate kids can ski Glades of Glory and wide groomers while the mountain's extreme reputation plays out in North Bowl far above. Best for confident skiers ages 8 to 16 who won't be intimidated by big terrain. The catch? Only 30% beginner runs and no childcare, so this isn't a learning mountain. But riding the Ripper chairlift above the clouds with Monashee peaks in view? That's the photo your kids will remember.</p>
