Orv Ski Jumping

OK - you won't freaking believe this but just inside Mt. Revelstoke Park is one of the coolest things we've gone and seen in Reve. The Nelss Neslon Historic Ski Jump is Hosted annual ski jumping competitions and winter carnivals from 1915 to 1975.

It was Canada's largest natural ski jump and the only Canadian venue where international ski jumping world records were set (by pioneers like Nels Nelsen, Bob Lymburne, and Isabel Coursier).

It's honestly crazy when you stand at the top and look over what these guys were going down - they were nuts!!! You can even get your photo taken - aka Orv looking down from the starters booth!

Well worth the 15 minute drive!
