After being closed for several years, the Big Eddy Pub is under new ownership, and will be re-opening soon. However, the new management has no intention of changing what made the spot such a popular watering hole. The new owners know what they are doing; they also run another Revelstoke hot-spot, the Village Idiot. Promising to bring back the big food portions and ice cold beer that made the Big Eddy so well liked, the new owners hope to attract locals and travelers alike.

  Revelstoke, British Columbia certainly has its share of visitors. With plenty of hiking and mountain biking during the summer, and of course champagne powder during the winter, Revelstoke is a great vacation spot. In both the summer and winter, there are activities to entertain the whole family. Besides the typical adventures into the mountains, Revelstoke has a golf course, great fishing, as well as plenty of historical spots and museums.

 Revelstoke is perhaps better known for its winter sports. Located in the Canadian Rockies, the terrain available for skiing and snowboarding is impressive to say the least. The best way to experience this breath-taking terrain is from a helicopter. And the best operator in town, if not all of British Columbia, is Mica Heli Guides. They offer exclusively small-group tours of their more than 177,000 acre tenure from December until April. They also boast an incredibly low 1.5 down days per season. Many of their tours have already been booked, so if this is the year you are ready to experience the best of Revelstoke's backcountry from the convenience of the helicopter, now is the time to reserve your spot. Whenever you come, and whatever you do, Revelstoke offers plenty of night life to finish the day. The addition of the Big Eddy Pub will only add to experience.
