Riding Elevation near Revelstoke

[colefrost]

This is our first trip to Revelstoke (Dec. 5th-12th) and we typically ride between 6,000 ft to 10,000 ft in elevation in Utah. I'm just curious what a common elevation you guys typically ride at to determine if I need to do any clutching for the trip.

Thanks in advance.

About the same but 10000 is pretty high for revy. More like 5500 to 8500

And 8500 is pretty near as high as you can get. Lots of 4500 meadows and trees when the weather socks in. I don't think I have ever broke 8000.

Most staging areas are at about 1300-1500'. The alpine riding varies from 5000-7000' with the odd trip up to 8000 but that is very limited. Hopes this helps, have a great trip. Pm me if you like will be around at that time.

I was gonna say around here we rarely get above 8k,like most have said riding takes place from usual 3500-6700..seems to be the sweet spot from Kelowna ,sicamous,revelstoke,kamloops and Fernie/pass.

Thanks guys. Just trying to determine what I need to do for clutching on my '13 Pro. I've got the stock high altitude but thinking of adding some weight but not sure.
