Has anyone taken the Revelstoke daily tour? From their website:
"First time skiing or riding at Revelstoke Mountain Resort? We offer free mountain tours daily at 12:30pm! Meet at the trail map signs next to Mackenzie Outpost at the top of the Revelation Gondola. A Snow School pro will show you how to get to and from the Ripper Chair, and the easiest route down to Revelation Lodge. Skiers and riders should be of an intermediate skill level and comfortable on blue terrain to participate. For a more tailored experience, come to Snow School in the village and sign up for a private or group program to get the lowdown on the mountain."
This sounds like it's geared to intermediate riders. I'm pretty sure that I can figure out how to get to the Ripper Chair and I'm not looking for the easiest way down to the lodge. I'm more looking for someone to show me "ski these trees, not those trees" and "which terrain to hike to" (i.e. go here, not there). I looked into hiring a guide for the day but it was almost $700 for the day. That's nuts.
Anyone have any suggestions or info that could help me out?
Thanks much
