The opening of a new Canadian ski resort could be the biggest news in the sport for 20 years, writes Peter Hardy.
Skiing in knee-deep fluffy powder down a run called North Bowl that seemed to last for ever, I saw the future of skiing in North America, and I liked what I saw.
In what I consider to be the most exciting development in snow business on either side of the Atlantic over the past 20 years, Canada's new, billion-dollar Revelstoke Mountain Resort - RMR - is poised to become one of the world's most thrilling destinations.
What's more, it suits everyone from novice to heli-skiing powder pig.
Within less than a decade I predict that RMR will earn its place as one of the Top 10 Truly Greats, alongside Aspen, Jackson Hole, Whistler, St Anton, Chamonix, Val d'Is
