㽶ƵֱReally rad dino-mite㽶Ƶֱ weddings at Revelstoke Mountain Resort

Couples got hitched on the hill, then hit the slopes

Valentines were snow in love at the top of Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) on Feb. 14.

For the fifth year, RMR offered matrimony services, complete with a justice of the peace, champagne, cupcakes, and the backdrop of the Columbia Mountains.

RMR event manager, Kate Roberts said because last year㽶Ƶֱs wedding event was so popular (with 22 weddings), they decided to implement a booking system this year. There were 23 couples wed on Valentine㽶Ƶֱs Day 2024.

Carolyn Gibson attended her friends㽶Ƶֱ ceremony and came dressed to the nines in dinosaur couture. Gibson who works with bride, Bergie Buhler at Revy Outdoors said that Buhler was obsessed with dinosaurs during their Christmas gift exchange.

㽶ƵֱI said maybe you should have a dinosaur wedding and it just blossomed from there,㽶Ƶֱ said Gibson.

Buhler and Jonas Spreuer tied the knot and took Gibson㽶Ƶֱs advice, taking the leap into marriage in dinosaur costumes, complete with a cascading train, overlapping Buhler㽶Ƶֱs tail.

Spreuer said that the view was gorgeous and he wouldn㽶Ƶֱt want to have their wedding anywhere else. While the newlyweds㽶Ƶֱ dino-pack of friends opted to ski down after the wedding, Buhler and Spreuer decided to take the gondola back since they㽶Ƶֱre not skiers.

While dinosaurs may be extinct, the joy Spreuer and Buhler exuberated showed that love is not.

Newlyweds Sierra Fraser and Ryan Vincent had been thinking about getting married at RMR for years and decided to make Feb. 14, 2024, the date with eight friends in attendance.

Jason Baertschi and Shianne Lewang chose to get married at RMR after spending a decade on the slopes. 㽶ƵֱIt just seemed really rad and it㽶Ƶֱs free and low key, and we㽶Ƶֱre both awkward㽶Ƶֱit was awesome, fun and it㽶Ƶֱs beautiful out here,㽶Ƶֱ said Baertschi. Lewang and Baertschi hit the slopes after they got hitched.

Chelsea Hess and Josh Beauchamp had already said their vows and shared a special ceremony with friends and family, but it was not a legally binding affair. Beauchamp said that it㽶Ƶֱs cheaper to do it on top of the mountain than the courthouse. Both avid snowboarders, they decided to tie the knot and board down to the base with their friends. Afterwards, they celebrated at the Rockford, followed by a backyard campfire.

For Adina Simeth and Travers Fisk, they met as roommates and Simeth spent her first day at RMR with Fisk. Despite vocalizing her limitations on the hill, Fisk convinced her to ski the advanced runs of Separate Reality and Snorkle Glades and joked that 㽶Ƶֱshe has stuck around all these years.㽶Ƶֱ While it may not have been all smiles during their initial run on RMR, on Feb. 14, they were both grinning ear-to-ear.

Couples wishing to get hitched on the hill in 2025, should visit RMR㽶Ƶֱs . Those looking to get hitched are reminded that they will need to obtain a wedding license before the day of the wedding, two witnesses are needed, those skiing will need lift tickets, and those who are not skiing will need a sightseeing ticket.
