Revelstoke Early Season Pillow Skiing - November 19

Such a sick early season day out with Yu Sasaki and Sammy Carlson lapping pillows and ripping the sleds around in some unreal early season conditions.
Revelstoke is renowned for its deep powder and epic terrain, making it a prime spot for early-season pillow skiing! In mid-November, snowfall in the area often delivers those soft, pillowy lines that skiers dream of, especially in the alpine and tree-covered zones.
If you’re heading out for early-season turns, here are some tips:
Snowpack Awareness: Early-season conditions can mean unstable snow layers, so check avalanche forecasts and travel with the proper safety gear (beacon, probe, and shovel).
Choose the Right Zones: Focus on areas with a good base. Tree pillows and sheltered areas typically hold snow well, but watch for hidden hazards like rocks or stumps.
Gear Up: Early snow can be heavy, so fat skis and solid bindings are ideal for navigating deep powder and those pillow drops.
Take It Easy: Early season is also early training for your body. Gradually ease into big jumps or drops to avoid injury.
