Event Description

***DATE CHANGE: Due to circumstances outside our control, Gnar Day has been rescheduled to Saturday March 21, 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 10 years. I can honestly say that I never thought I'd be the best at something for a decade, but here I am, still the best skier on the mountain 10 years later. 10 years of sticking uphill ice, going upside down, and getting oh so h*ckin rad. 10 years of ripping the absolute s**t outta this mountain! The 10 year anniversary of Revelstoke Gnar Day is coming Saturday, March 21, 2020. Mark your calendars; this day h*ckin rules!! What is Gnar Day about, you ask? Gnar Day is our way of celebrating the life of Shane McConkey, who reminded everyone that skiing is all about having fun. It's a chance to leave the seriousness of life elsewhere, and let loose with the good times. Wear your best costume; the more random the better! Dust off those 215cm Salomon's from 1988 and toss some epic spread eagles! Wax up those snowblades and lay down some tight carves! Push yourself, your friends, and your family to try something new! Get out of the comfort zone and do whatever "fun" means to you! The best way to learn more about Gnar Day is to watch "GNAR: The Movie" (https://vimeo.com/18809446), and if you want to learn more about Shane McConkey, the documentary film "McConkey" is available on Red Bull TV (https://www.redbull.com/int-en/films/mcconkey). Both are free to watch! While Gnar Day is the best day (hands down, no contest), it is also like any other day at the resort when it comes to resort rules. While we obviously encourage you to have fun, we also encourage you to respect the resort and its staff that really contribute to making Revelstoke the awesome place it is. There are no exceptions to drinking and smoking policies that RMR has in place, and much like other years, there is a strong likelihood of bag checks at the gondola base. The Revelstoke Gnar Day Rules List. Rather than having a points system to decide how rad you’re getting, let your friends and yourself be the judges. But always remember, if you’re getting rad and there’s no one there to see it…are you really getting rad? 1. Ego Claim: After skiing a line, go up to a group of strangers and loudly proclaim “I’m the best skier on the mountain!” 2. Fart Bag: Spot or sport a one-piece snowsuit. Bonus for retro-ness. If no one-piece is available, a most ridiculous costume is sufficient. 3. Fart Claim: In Revelation Gondola, join a group of strangers in a cabin and produce a smelly fart and claim it. 4. Old School: Ski any run using 200+cm skis, or an old school snowboard. 5. Pole Whacker: Whack your pole above your run for at least 30 seconds. 6. Buck Naked (BN): Complete any run completely naked. 7. Radness Yell: Prior to skiing your line, attract attention and yell something like, “Hey! Check me out! I’m gonna rip the s**t outta this!” 8. Talk Smack: In a serious tone, look at a stranger close to you and yell, “I’m better than you!”, prior to dropping into or after you’ve stomped your run. You are not better if you crash. 9. Revelation Line Breakfast: Prepare breakfast while in line-up for Revelation Gondola. Bonus for hooking up the lift operators with food. 10. Mad Hook Ups: Hook up in Gondola or at the Hammocks. Making out doesn’t count. 11. Call Ma: Call your Mom on your cell phone while dropping into your run. 12. Switcheroo: Ski/snowboard an entire run switch. 13. Showoff: Stomp tricks under any chairlift. 14. Fruitbooter: Rip laps on snowblades. 15. Monoski: Ski a run on a monoski. 16. Pro Call Out: “Hey (name), I can’t believe you’re a pro, I’m totally better than you!” 17. Long Way Down: Top of Stoke to bottom of Gondola entirely on The Last Spike. First down claims it while losers buy rounds at apres ski. 18. Hot Dog: Perform a minimum of 5 old school tricks in one run. 19. Epic Attire: Wear an outfit that a minimum of 6 people laugh at you for wearing. 20. Mad Props: Find at least 5 different Ski Patrollers and give them props or a high five.
