I'm starting to my trip for next year. My wife and I are in our late 30s. We only get to ski once per year now. We are pretty decent. We've both been skiing for more than 20 years on and off. I would say I'm a 7 with rust because of lack of hill-time with my wife being a 6. on a scale of 1 = newb to 10 = Ski Patrol. We are both, athletic and would be very good(8-9) skiers if we could only get more days on the hill. Really the limiting factors are lack of “ski conditioning”. We both do crossfit so we are more in shape than most, but still nowhere near “ski shape” since that’s very specific conditioning. Anyway, the totally extreme stuff(hucking cliffs, long boot packs, etc...) is out of the question. If I'm understanding what I've read and seen on the trail maps, Revvy is mostly tree/glade skiing. I love glades and bumps! My wife is a little bit more conservative shall we say. She can get down pretty much anything short of Corbet's, but it won't be pretty and will take a bit of time for her. I'm worried the terrain will just be too taxing for her and she'll get bored from having to stick to the same terrain she can ski over and over. No matter where I've been I've learned that we wind up sticking to smaller portions of mountains due to various factors like weather, snow-cover, staying away from ski-school hell and chopped up groomers, ability limits, etc... And because of those factors I'm worried I would get bored as well since a lot of the glades at Revvy seem pretty intense relegating me to the same areas over and over. Really how much of Revvy is pillows, cliffs, etc…
I pretty much stayed on Symphony, Harmony, and Lakeside Bowl at Whistler for 3 days straight last year because it was really the only place with good snow and not icey. I pretty much stayed on a really small patch(Moran woods and Apre Vous) at Jackson 2 years ago for most of the week because it was the only place with good tree skiing and bumps because the HoBacks weren't open when we went.
Is there enough level 6-7 skiing for 5 skiing days(with 1 rest day) at Revvy in Feb or should I extend the vacay by a day and split between Revvy(3days) and Fernie(3 days)?
Put another way: Is enough of the named trails and gladed terrain easy enough for level 6/7 skiers to last 5 days? Any comparison of terrain type and amount of it to Whistler, JH, Breck, or Winterpark would be welcome as those have been my most recent trips.
Thanks,
Craig

JH would probably be my favorite of places I've been(various CO hills, JH, and Whistler) under awesome conditions. 30% of JH was closed when I went in Feb 2018. The following year I picked Whistler over JH and Vail. Both Vail and JH got buried during the same time frame while Whistler go 6". 
on Ainsworth, beautiful place.
