It has been my experience that Revelstoke has always been considered a place to retire if you don't like crowds. Banks and private lenders have been cautious to lend in that area due to lack of enthusiasm for new buyers. BUT,,, seems to me that the news has talked of nothing else but the powder on the local mountain there. I am going on a road trip to check it out. I hear that the real estate opportunities are prosperous and the hope is that it will be a destination for many travelers seeking powder and mild temperatures. Lets see shall we. I will report back when I return end of next week.
