Frisby Ridge

Frisby Ridge is one of Rémi’s favorite mountains, and for good reason. The name of our business, Treeriding Adventure, says it all: Frisby offers some of the best tree riding around Revelstoke.

One of Frisby’s biggest advantages is that it often holds snow right from the parking lot throughout most of the season. Its size also makes it very trailer-friendly. The terrain is so vast that you could spend more than a week exploring the ridge and sidehilling from Dead Man Creek to the far end of the mountain in deep powder conditions.

Thanks to the consistent snowfall coming off Revelstoke Lake, we spend most of our time riding around the cabin and Dead Man Creek. Dead Man Creek is Rémi’s favorite section of Frisby. Located close to the cabin, its endless drainages, ravines, and technical terrain make it one of the most challenging and rewarding tree-riding areas on the mountain. And the views of Revelstoke from the creek are simply incredible.

​

Be extremely cautious: the west side of Dead Man Creek is a significant avalanche area, especially after fresh snowfall. Its steep slopes and open terrain can create very serious hazards for riders who are not experienced in recognizing avalanche terrain.

​

Frisby Ridge runs from south to north, offering spectacular views in every direction. To the west, you can see Boulder, Turtle, Copeland, and Derrickson. To the east, you get panoramic views of Revelstoke Lake, the national park, and Sale Mountain.

As you approach the repeater tower, the west side of the ridge becomes extremely steep as it drops toward the Jordan River.​During the winter of 2025, Rémi teamed up with several expert riders to explore this rarely ridden zone and look for a safe and manageable way in.

The conclusion was clear: there is nothing easy about this terrain. The only known “chicken pass” into this section is extremely difficult to climb back out of and should only be attempted by highly advanced riders with extensive experience in this type of terrain.

Do not drop into this area unless you know exactly where you are going and how you will get back out. The risk of getting your snowmobile stuck or requiring a helicopter extraction is very high, and the hike out can be physically exhausting.
