Mountain in the Making: Revelstoke Mountain Resort launches a three-part film series depicting its rise from railway town to sustainable four-season resort
PR Newswire
REVELSTOKE, BC, Nov. 12, 2026
Filmed and produced by Sherpas Cinema, the series tells Revelstoke’s story through the people who have shaped it.
REVELSTOKE, BC, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) today premiered Mountain in the Making, a three-part film series produced by Sherpas Cinema that follows Revelstoke and its resort through the past, the present and what comes next. Episode one, Humble Beginnings, is available now on RMR’s Mountain in the Making page, with Adventure Seekers and The Next Chapter to follow on November 19 and 26.
The series arrives at a turning point for the resort. Nearly two decades after RMR opened in 2007 with the most lift-served vertical in North America, its base area is continuing to evolve and grow: A 155-room hotel, an 18-hole golf course and a growing lineup of homes, from townhomes to estate lots, are all being added to the resort’s features this coming year.
Three films, one mountain
Depicted across three short films, Mountain in the Making traces how a railway town located between the Selkirk and Monashee mountain ranges became one of the most storied places to ski in North America and is known as the heli-skiing capital of the world. The series begins with the resort taking shape on Mount Mackenzie. It then meets the people behind today’s 1,713 metres (5,620 feet) of lift-served vertical and a summer season that now reaches the Revelstoke Skywalk. The final film turns to what is going up at the base: The Karl hotel, a championship golf course and new residential neighbourhoods.
“Revelstoke was a railway town with deep skiing roots. Locals have been skiing here since the 1890s, and the community’s ski club was first formalized in the early 1900s. Heli-skiing followed, and a gondola up Mount Mackenzie was the natural next step,” says Jason Kelder, President, Revelstoke Mountain Resort. “Our resort is the newest chapter in that story. Everything we’re building at the base, from The Karl to our new residential communities, gives more people a reason to stay and be part of it, and we’re doing it with the same care for these mountains that drew people here in the first place.”
What’s taking shape at Revelstoke Mountain Resort
The series’ final episode, The Next Chapter, looks ahead to a resort growing into a true four-season destination. At the heart of it is The Karl, RMR’s 155-room hotel opening in 2027, designed for leisure travellers and groups alike. Guests will find a range of room and suite configurations, a spa with hot tubs and sauna, a fitness centre and Chop Steakhouse & Bar. For groups, more than 8,500 square feet of flexible meeting and event space makes The Karl a natural home for corporate retreats, conferences, weddings and celebrations, with the mountain just outside the door. The Karl will also be the check-in point for Cabot Revelstoke golf and Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing, bringing the resort’s signature experiences together under one roof.
The 18-hole Cabot Revelstoke course, developed in partnership with luxury golf brand Cabot and designed by Canadian architect Rod Whitman, opens to the public in 2027. Next door, The Rail Yard will pair a par-3 short course with a clubhouse, golf simulators and a duckpin bowling alley, a nod to Revelstoke’s railway heritage.
On the mountain, the Revelstoke Skywalk, which celebrated its grand opening last June, carries visitors across a 75.5-metre suspension bridge 1,250 metres above the Columbia Valley from the top of the Revelation Gondola. Together with the most lift-served vertical in North America, these additions make Revelstoke a resort to return to in every season, whether for a powder week, a family holiday, a round of golf or a company retreat.
Real estate update
Alongside the series, RMR continues to build out a multitude of residential offerings across the Resort lands, including on-mountain homes.
The Benchlands is RMR’s master-planned community along Nichol Road, minutes from the resort base and beside the Cabot Revelstoke golf course, with views of the Monashee Mountains. It brings condos, townhomes and estate lots together in one community, with mountain-modern architecture, natural materials and homes with mudrooms, gear storage and outdoor space. The community is zoned for short-term rentals, and owners can join the resort’s rental management program.
The Benchlands Townhomes offer three- and four-bedroom homes ranging from 2,100 to 2,600 square feet, starting at $1.9 million, with select units including a separate rental suite. The Benchlands Condos, a three-storey building of 43 one- to three-bedroom homes, range from 525 to 1,436 square feet and start at $580,000, with a top-floor spa featuring a hot tub, cold plunge and sauna. Estate lots start at $850,000 and give buyers the option to build a custom mountain home.
On Mount Mackenzie itself, Mountain Road Estates is a small enclave of duplex villas and estate lots between the Mackenzie Landing and Monashee Estates neighbourhoods. Two villas remain, priced from $4.5 million, each spanning approximately 3,500 square feet with views of Mount Begbie and the Monashee Mountains. Estate lots start at $1.5 million. All prices are in Canadian dollars.
“When people watch footage of Revelstoke, the first question is usually how they can spend more time here. We want to have an answer for every buyer. At the Benchlands, that might be a condo beside the golf course, a townhome for a growing family or an estate lot for a custom mountain home. For buyers who want to be on the mountain itself, Mountain Road Estates puts them right on Mount Mackenzie,” says Kelder.
Owners in RMR’s resort residential communities receive priority consideration for membership in the Revelstoke Mountain Club, which includes priority gondola access, first tracks passes and a private lakefront property on Lake Revelstoke, amongst many other benefits.
