Revelstoke Trailer Parking

[RRolsma]

Never been to Revelstoke... what's the trailer parking situation like at most hotels? Northwinds, Ramada, Best Western, etc.

There are ski towns in the states where it is next to impossible to find room for even a small trailer. We have a 31ft gooseneck. Any options for street parking or leaving a trailer in the boulder lot if the hotel lot is full?

lots of room at the sandman

Should be ok at the Ramada. I wouldn't leave it any old place, or it could disappear

Yeah buddy of mine was at the Sandman. They have security. 3 am Security guard saw his trailer and sleds leaving going west. Called the police. My cop buddy left Revelstoke heading to Sicamous and Sicamous cop Headed to Revi. Found the trailer at Valley gap with two tarps no sleds. Both cops said they never saw any vehicles on coming. Poof gone. Both new race gas m8’s , full powder coated, pimped out never even riden yet. this was about 2010.
Those bastards are brazen

Spend lots of time in Revy with a big trailer. Most hotels are ok, Ramada and Fairfield have great parking best western is hit and miss days gets busy but has parking.

Dinner is a ch!t show, there’s no parking down town at the best of times so best bet is to cab it and you should make resos or be there by 5 or good luck getting a table.

FYI the motel by Zalas is now owned by Basecamp . No idea of policies or rates

We usually pitted into to peaks or cabins right beside peaks, at least u could unhook the trailer and go around town if need be trailers anywhere from 20 to 32 feet, just dont come down the mountain at 9 and hope to find decent parking, i remember pushing the zalas limo once or twice up and down the hill off the highway lol

I pushed those limos lots too. And after trays and trays of patron shots with Yager bomb chasers. Good old days.

Ended up booking at Peaks… looks like plenty of parking. We will most likely ride Boulder for the most part. Can we ride Macpherson from the door at Peaks?

I know you guys don’t speak much in detail on riding areas, which is understandable, I enjoy using google earth and exploring anyway… but I am curious on parking with a large rig at some other locations- Eagle Pass, Keystone, Sale (riding looks good… parking looks like a no go)??

Eagle Pass has good parking. Revy club was finally allowed to build a parking lot at Keystone but there is no grooming at this time. Sale you park at the highway where the tin shack is. Very limited parking there.

Unless you are really good at tree riding i wouldnt bother with Macpherson. If you are a skilled tree rider, well then have fun.

Snows not the best this season, im sure you know that though.

Tree riding is my jam… might have to check it out. Does a guy just take the powerlines up if theres enough snow?

Hoping the snow improves. We are booked starting Feb 19th, I’m sure there will be adequate snow by then.

Ya the power lines. I usually park at 3 valley gap. But guys do ride it from peaks though.

Well trying this again this year. Had to cancel due to the snow situation last year.

How about parking for Joss. Is there trailer parking available? I assume parking is along the highway at Wap Lake FS Road as long as there is snow?

All of the groomed areas have lots for any size trailer. Outside the 'official' groomed club areas, there are no parking lots and the parking isn't trailer friendly.
Depending on snow level, logging and the size of your trailer, turning around may be quite tough. Make sure you don't block an active plowed FSR.

As far as Joss specifically. Most people with trailers park a few hundred feet off the highway in the wide spot of the road. There is a guy that lives a couple km's in and plows it with his loader, but there really isn't much of a place to turn around or park a trailer. Last year, there's was very little snow down low and they were logging, so wap was plowed wide for quite a ways in, but that isn't typical.

On a side note, if you haven't been to Joss before, a guide would be a good idea. Good weather is a must.

Thanks for the info. Will be our first time in Revelstoke…. and Canada actually. Just trying to have plans for all weather/snow conditions. Figure Joss will be a “if the stars align” deal. Looking at google earth and having done a little research it looks fairly straight forward getting in… maybe not somewhere I would take my wife though
