We drove from my home in Wetaskiwin Alberta to Revelstoke British Columbia on December 2nd, we stayed at a hostel in Revelstoke costing $37 each, but the hostel was fun and nice as well as close to several bars on the main street. 
Now Revelstoke is a very unique town, they are known for getting a lot snow, there roofs are specially re-enforced roofs to withstand the extra weight of a ton of snow. 
I only mention this because for the last 2 years running they have had unusually low snow fall, making this hill hard to judge with only 1.3m of snow. 
This hill is a very tall hill, some of the biggest elevation drops I have ever seen, the one run is 1700m drop over 1 black diamond run. So anyway the mountain resort is still under construction with a future golf course planned, but here is my review of the mountain.
Lift ticket cost: 74
Accommodation: 37
Number of runs: 54
Chair lifts: 2, and 2 Gondola's
Current snow pack: 130cm's
The main issue I had was this hill was not enough snow, even on the groomed runs I continually hit rocks no matter what runs I was taking. For this main reason the hill got a poor score from me, but the hill just needed more of the white stuff. Final score from this visit 3/10. The town of Revelstoke and the hostel got good scores though as it is a very fun town. Next stop Silver star.
