Pros
- Looks awesome and enjoy!
- Since you are beginner skiers, look at Sun Peaks, Silverstar, and Big White in interior BC as well. All are very popular with Aussie families and have good beginner terrain (and the latter is owned by Aussies!), plus are less expensive t...
- Big White near Kelowna has good tree skiing as well much smaller trees can suffer from low vis and doesn't have the spectacular views of Revelstoke.
- You're missing a major hill in Big White. I know it's not on your passes but day tickets are pretty cheap ($CDN110 last year).
- Big White is my local mountain :)
Cons
- If you save Revy for last, on your way back to Spokane you can hit Big White.
- My local hills Big White and Silver Star are both under delayed openings.
- I'd look at interior British Columbia- Sun Peaks, Big White, Red Mountain, etc.
- A clear day at Big White? Unheard of!
- Parent context: I would 100% skip both and go to Red, 49 North, and Schweitzer. Maybe even Big White and Sliver Star. Stevens is tiny and in the middle of nowhere. W/B is massive, expensive, and fucked up crowded. Reply: Stevens is tiny...

Since you are beginner skiers, look at Sun Peaks, Silverstar, and Big White in interior BC as well. All are very popular with Aussie families and have good beginner terrain (and the latter is owned by Aussies!), plus are less expensive than Whistler, and much quieter to boot.
