Motel price hikes in revy this year

[Lund]

Ride Revy/ and Kalispel/ whitefish most of the winter and my comparsion..

revy fuel is is double the price, for truck and sled.. Food and drink even after exchange is a marginally cheaper, logging in Montana even over their busy Christmas season is 100$$ a night, and the location we stay in hungry horse is 69$ a night, nice rooms good parking..

We buy sessional trail passes for thirty dollars in Montana, most trails are groomed and kept up very well, there trail system is incredible actually and are all intermingled, as for riding, like Revy when snow is bad, it's not the best but they have many many more trees than Revy and snow is always decent in there longer, I actually love the hungry horse riding because of its difficulty.. Revy is also very good when it's deep, but very open in comparison, and don't last long to set up..defiantly timing is key.... Revys fogs got to be the worst, last year we had more days wasted in fog than good riding days..

Like them both and ride with great guys at either place, but one for me is cheaper and closer.. And that ussally pulls trump

So why did you start this thread? Maybe to convince your self that going to Montana is better in almost everyway?
There you go, you have answer your own question, the cost of sledding Revy is too high, Montana makes the only sense for sledding.
LOL, you guys and many on this forum REALLY need to expand your sledding destination. Revy is NOT the only epic center of sledding in BC, Revy just does a great job convincing you of that and many other east of them.
Ever notice that the white plates pretty much out number blue plates in Revy, that's because the blue plates are out enjoying the other epic destination's that BC offer's..LOL...with out the chaos.

Ahhhh Motels, the only place you can ****t in the bed and wipe your dick on the curtains!

I would say you can do that in jail too, but there are no curtains in jail.

Took the words out of my mouth.


I enjoy going to Idaho and Montana. 4 nights in West Yellowstone is cheaper than the same in Revy even with the exchange. The drive is just longer.

I enjoy numerous other places as well. There are some excellent areas like the Kootenays you won't see a sled on the mountain for days and endless untracked zones that have likely never seen sled tracks. But I am not about to say where exactly lol.

If I have to drive more then a hour I'm not going. So many epic places out there to ride a sled without the hassle of big crowds and over priced hotels. Are we spoiled here that way, yes but it's worth every penny.

I've been going to Revy for 20 years... I've decided time for change based on Revy Hotel prices and the highway to Vale is better... Been loyal to the Days Inn.. Ate a Zalas twice this summer with kids and the food was horrible... so yup Valemount and Blue River.

Summit River Lodge is the place to stay in Vale if you decide to go... Best bang for your buck IMO.

Terry pay you to say that?

Haha nope, just my favorite place to stay is all. I personally avoid hotels if I can and Terry has always been good to me.

Know one like to ride alone Lund.. Have good buddys either spot to ride with, and it gives you another location to go when snow is not the best at the other.. But REvy has to realize it's not a open check book to screw over the hand that feeds them!!

With the dollar the way it is and how the ski resort is progressing as a whole along with the town I would say Revelstoke has many hands that are feeding it right now. Have you guys ever tried doing the B&B route? There are many people that rent rooms or whole floors of a house out that still cater to sledders. The town is growing and changing, but you should still be able to get a decent nights stay for $100 regardless of where you are

I'm thinking your saying no one want's to ride alone because your buddies are not willing to try else where.
Maybe for Revy you need to explore alternative options for accommodation, like already said B&B or an RV to share the cost. Either way unless people start exploring other option's and continue going to Revy, don't expect Revy to adjust their prices for sledders or anyone. If people continue to swarm into Revy, prices will continue to rise and it should. Revy doesn't owe anyone special favor's, you the sledder go there on your own intuition and in fact create the cost increase.
Interesting how this is thread started by fredw is related to this thread.

You must like Teen Burgers. A&W is awesome in Valmont. Revy = 30+ Restaurants not just Zalas but never had a bad pizza at Zalas yet.

We stopped in at Zalla's this summer on the bikes and things have changed. Possibly a management change, the girl did tell me but i don't remember LOL.
No more salad bar, physically takin out and smaller portion's and higher pricing. Still good looking girls though LOL

Man I hope all these guys stop going to Revy. No more 30' trailers trying to park at the turn off early season, and It would be nice to get a decent parking spot without being at the lot before 800

 

[ferniesnow]

I like the fact that the majority of riders along the eastern slopes go to Revy! Sure quiet where I ride and my cabin/meals are also very non-expensive!

Before 8 try 8pm the night before.

It's tough to beat the variety of terrain and zones offered within 30mins of Revy.

Fernie is great and offers some decent zones within 20mins but people think Revys prices are high, stay at a decent place in Fernie and it's just as much or higher. I have never been a fan of many of the hotels there either. Parking usually sucks as well.

I don't mind driving past Fernie little further SW. Makes for a longer travel day but worth it.
