\"Bighorn<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the best luxury ski chalets in Canada, Bighorn Revelstoke<\/a> will be sure to offer you a unique and unforgettable luxury experience on your Canadian ski vacation. We wanted to find out more about why this ski lodge in Canada is so special, so we caught up with Jo at Bighorn Revelstoke to give you an exclusive insight…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the story behind the creation of Bighorn Revelstoke?<\/h3>\n

\"ski<\/a><\/p>\n

10 years ago 2 young English brothers,\u00a0Michael & Chris Kirkland,<\/a> with a love for heliskiing, wanted to combine extreme skiing with extreme luxury. Revelstoke Mountain Resort is considered to be the heli-ski capital of the World but tends to favour more rustic lodges, so they decided to build the most luxurious ski lodge in Canada. Basing the business model on exclusive European luxury chalet holidays<\/a>, Bighorn really set the bar high as nothing like this existed in Canada, and still doesn\u2019t at this level. They brought in top British Executive chef Peter Hughes, and Leesa Hughes to manage Bighorn (both of whom had years of experience running top end chalets in Europe), and they continue to run it like a well oiled machine. It\u2019s a highly professional, slick, 5-star operation where every detail is finely tuned.<\/p>\n

Why is the location of Bighorn ideal for a Revelstoke ski holiday?<\/h3>\n

\"heli<\/a><\/p>\n

We are in the middle of the 3 major heli ski terrains so thousands of hectares of virgin terrain, all accessible within 15 minutes flying time, making multi runs possible from our very own helipad in the garden.<\/p>\n

We are located just 5 minutes away from the ski lifts at Revelstoke Mountain Resort<\/a> with North America’s longest lift-served piste (5620ft), so if some guests don\u2019t want to heli-ski, there are plenty of options from beginner upwards. There’s lots of variety with this big mountain boasting access to powder bowls, steep drops, extensive glades and incredible long runs. Other\u00a0cool snow activities include snowmobile, cat-ski and ski-touring, as well as back-country options. It is not difficult to see why Revelstoke is one of the best ski resorts in Canada! Not only does Revelstoke have everything to offer, Bighorn is very accessible for mountain activities as well as hosting luxurious facilities and excellent service, making it the perfect ski lodge in Canada to spend your non-ski time.<\/p>\n

How would you describe the service at Bighorn Revelstoke?<\/h3>\n

Highly professional, personal and discreet. Based on the high end European model, staff are personally trained to the highest level to understand client needs and are available 24 hours to cater to every need.<\/p>\n

What sort of food can a client expect from the chalet’s private chef?<\/h3>\n

\"gourmet<\/a><\/p>\n

Peter Hughes, our award-winning private chef, serves a classic but modern mix of Asian, European, and North American menus\u00a0tailored to each group,\u00a0<\/span>using the freshest and highest quality produce available. Highlights are the teppanyaki nights where Chef cooks up a storm right in front of guests, who have front row seats around the teppanyaki grill in the kitchen. As one of the best catered ski lodges in Revelstoke, you won’t be disappointed!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How does Bighorn stand out from any other ski lodge in Canada?<\/h3>\n

\"wellness<\/a><\/p>\n

Firstly it\u2019s one of a kind. There really isn\u2019t anything else of Bighorn\u2019s calibre in Canada. Bighorn has huge commitment to consistency, quality and food and service to rival the most luxurious resort. Most Canadian ski lodges we have experienced offer a more ‘homely’ feel for mixed groups and individuals for odd days. Bighorn is an exclusive luxury ski chalet for one group, and it cocoons them in privacy and comfort, taking them away from their busy lives into a real luxury experience – it’s not just about the skiing, the welcome, service and comfort is paramount.<\/p>\n

The luxurious facilities at Bighorn including the outdoor hot tub, sauna, indoor pool, gym, massage and spa rooms, cinema, and games room with snooker table mean that there really is something for everyone to enjoy whether you ski or not.<\/p>\n

What is the most unusual request you have had from a client?<\/h3>\n

There are many – but wanting to fly to a live hockey game in Calgary (510km away) by helicopter with preferential seats, and be back for breakfast and skiing the next day springs to mind!<\/p>\n

We have many requests from groups and really try our best to accommodate them all.\u00a0 For example:<\/p>\n
