- Holmlands are proud to present "The Revelstoke Diaries" - as we go behind the scenes of the ski town of Revelstoke in British Columbia, Canada.
Nestled in the heart of British Columbia, Revelstoke was originally founded in the 1880s when the Canadian Pacific Railway was built in the area - where the railroad still plays an integral part of the township.
Renowned for it's high annual snowfall, the development of Revelstoke Mountain Resort in 2007, has since transformed the small town into a global mecca for adventurers.
A traditional and hardworking mountain town, with stunning natural scenery all around and endless outdoor activities, The Revelstoke Diaries focuses on the people that make the place.
We speak with Canadians who reflect different aspects of mountain life - and are proud to call Revelstoke their home - seeing how the community is united by their own passion for adventure and love for the great outdoors.
Taking a different perspective to traditional ski films; we speak with a local train driver, professional adventurers and environmental activists, a retiree, an entrepreneur, musicians, an artist, a police officer, a night groomer and more...
The Revelstoke Diaries aims to encapsulate the essence of life in this stunning and remote adventure paradise through the gaze of the locals.
Featuring, Chris Pawlitsky, Greg Hill, Izzy Lynch, Bill Pollock, Kelsey Adam, Mark Baron, Shred Kelly, Leah Allison, Faron Ling, Kristy Whale and Gnorm the Powder Gnome.
This short film is also complimented by a nine episode web series, with extended footage from each interview.
With special thanks to our supporters from Revelstoke, Revelstoke Mountain Resort, Somewon Collective, Sutton Place Hotels, Big Eddy Glass Works, Revelstoke Powder Rentals and Protect Our Winters Canada.

Revelstoke has taken my son. He came from the tropics in Australia and fell in love with the place. It breaks my heart but if he’s happy I’m happy for him. I guess I’ll have to visit.
Aw Chris, it has been years man., That smile never goes away. Glad you are still living the rail life.
Four years ago I visited this small and very cute town.......and I felt in love with the place, the community, the respect and hospitality of the Canadians. The mountains, the streets...the whole experience of simple and meaningful life...Revelstoke became my spiritual place in this world. Please keep Revelstoke as is. Cheers and Aloha to all my friends at Revi. I really missed this year due to the traveling ban....
Time to come back?
yes, I did and felt the same connection, wasn't only skiing....long walks unders those snowing evening, lots to think and pray....@@andrewbryan1444
WOW. Stunning film.
Easily my fave mountain to ride in BC. Great hill, great town, great people.......
Buddy that canoes is a badass!!
When we grow up, we want to be just like Bill.
The mountie shreds!
Absolutely stunning ! In the bucket list !
This is absolutely FANTASTIC! Its great to see Revelstoke through the eyes of some of the wonderful people living there. I have visited many times; but I think I now have a deeper understanding of the place. Thank you to the team who made this. Its a gift to all people.
Thank you for your kind words. You comment sums up the intention behind this project. So many times we travel to places as skiers - ski the resort, stay in hotels, eat in restaurants, then leave - and rarely engage with or get to know the people who live in ski towns themselves. There's so many wonderful people in Revelstoke that we could have featured in this project -but hope this film provides a snap shot and captures a feeling of what winter life is like in this special town beyond the travel brochures, quick fire social media posts and more traditional ski movie segments. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Beautiful production, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your kinds words Leo, and thanks for watching.
Awesome video from Holmlands. Great portrait of folks from Revelstoke. Definitely worth watching if you love the mountain life. Great stuff.
Krásny filmový dokument o určite zaujímavých ľuďoch, nádhernej prírode a peknom meste Revelstoke, škoda len že som nerozumel, určite si to dám preložiť!
Thank you for the kind words (understood with a little help from Google Translate!). If you turn on the auto generated closed captions in your country, hopefully this works so you can read the dialogue.
What a beautifully made film - really captures the essence of life in the mountains.
What a great showcase of your area. My daughter and her partner are visiting for a few days as I type this - summer and bikes. They're on working visas from New Zealand and getting to see some pretty spots.
I'd love to visit, restaurants look good!
Super film, with stunning scenery and interesting characters - really gives you a feel for Revelstoke and mountain life in a small town community.
Moving to Revy in a month!!! So excited
Great timing ... looks like it could be an La Niña year this winter!
@@Holmlands don't you mean la nina?
@@gregoryatkinson9461 yes we do! 😉
lucky you!
everything in this video is about winter activities. Wish they did a spool on mountain biking.
This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing the lovely stories and the Revelstoke vibes!!
Thank you for watching and for the kind words.
This is such an amazing video. Well done!
Thanks for tuning in and for the kind comment, we're glad you enjoyed the film - be sure to check out the individual web series episodes on our channel too!
This is great, 2 thumbs up!
Thanks guys - when we come back and do the summer version, we'll have to swing by!
❤❤❤
Beautyfully made...
Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed the film. Be sure to check out our channel to watch the complementary web series - with extended interviews from the project.
Im living currently in whistler next season i am moving to revy for a season! Cant wait
How did you like living in Revelstoke compared to Whistler? A lot less crowded?
hi there ! lovely video! hope too live someday if some opening job in hospitality! thank you !
I almost have my red seal as a chef and also looking to do the same.
Hope to live here someday 🥰
Thanks for watching. Revelstoke is a special town for sure ... there are certainly worse places to live!
Holmlands especially if you are a aspiring backcountry ski bum lol
@@LandonSyroid then Revy is the ideal location for you. Endless amounts of exceptional backcountry.
Same here I’m 14 and live in New Zealand but I don’t know a good job over there to do
@@boarderboyz5756 sounds like you have lots of time to figure things out. In the meantime New Zealand has some fun mountains too!
My first impression of Revelstoke was.... ooh, this is powder.
What month is best to visit for skiing? Thank, what an awesome film.
Thanks for watching. This project was shot in December. Part of the beauty of winter in Revelstoke is that all months are typically great conditions for skiing.
🥰🇨🇦❄️
anyone else want to move to revelstoke???.. i have wanted to make that move for a few years now.
Great place. But these days you have to go with money otherwise you are not going to make it through. Not a easy place to succeed winters are long and money runs out very quickly.
Can't believe snowmobiling wasn't mentioned once!
Thanks for watching. There's certainly lots of different aspects of local life we weren't able to cover within time and budget constraints but hopefully the project provides a good glimpse into Revelstoke life at the start of a new winter.
Or Heli Skiing. Go back in summer...
Good video, but how can you do a piece on Revelstoke without any sledders!?
I love how the cop wiped the inside of his goggles….
Please! Please keep Revelstoke at it is!!!! Two hotels under constructions, Makenzie village face 2 underway, intentions to keep growing...that will really kill this amazing place and great people! Don't let Chinese investor take over! Please save REVELSTOKE!
Dude, regression and closing off never works. Smart progressive planning is the only way forward.
I've read somewhere , there is a plan to turn Revelstoke into a biggest ski resort in North America. If that's the case, I'm afraid your wish ,to keep the place the way it is now, is possible .
@@m.bird. I will totally disagree with you......Look at the facts, Honolulu, Patagonia, Barcelona, Andorra., Maui, Whistler...all these were amazing places just killed by the " BS progressive planning.......
I agreed with you. But lot of Revi families are already suffering for the closing of their business due to big and inluencial investor. Would be nice call for a balance.@@m.bird.
@@anatolyex well this world and new society is a place for Billonaires showing their power. Look what just happens to us on Maui, billo and millonaiers couldn't buy the lands that belongs to the locals and they burnt the whole town!
Well that got progressive quickly
Gratuitous drone shots... excessive use of banjo... yup, checks out.
🤦🏼♂️
its funny how people make these videos about people living in certain places, but they never say HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO LIVE THERE, or How the people in the story are able to survive and afford to live in this location??????
Surely the cost of living anywhere is all relative? The very first story is with an entrepreneur discussing how he built his own business from scratch in Revelstoke, as is the section with the glass blower - with the police officer, train driver and snowcat operator all examples of just some of the types of jobs available locally - so the project does spotlight how people are able to live in the town, with everyone featured (bar the band) long term local residents.
Mark Baron and Leah Allison are both terrific examples of entrepreneurs who have built their own businesses that contribute immensely to the local community - and create jobs - giving people the opportunity to live and work in Revelstoke and enjoy the mountain lifestyle. There are certainly many more companies in Revelstoke who do the same, that aren't featured in this particular project. Not to mention the rail, forestry, mining and tourism industries.
Im a broke college student living in revelstoke, making it work. If youre smart with your money and know how to work hard, its beyond doable.
