The Coaster experience will span 1.7 kilometres in length, with over 270 vertical metres descent through the beautiful north shore mountain. The carts can go up to 40 Kilometres per hour at their max speed, however, guests can control if they would like to go this fast with their hand break.
Mountain Coasters have seen huge success at several ski resorts around the world, including one in our very own, Revelstoke.
