Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has wrapped up two days of “personal” time in Revelstoke.
According to his office, he first arrived on Jan. 2, after spending New Year’s Day in Lake Louise.
The prime minister was in Revelstoke last summer when he was asking people to donate to the Canadian Red Cross wildfire aid effort.
He said the Canadian government would match all donations.
Trudeau addressed a crowd on July 29, 2017 from a platform at the intersection of Mackenzie Avenue and First Street.
“There’s a long tradition of this family coming out together to enjoy these mountain,” he said.

The prime minister is no stranger to the slopes. He was once a snowboard instructor in Whistler.
A representative from Revelstoke Mountain Resort said the family had not been skiing there on Jan. 2 or 3.
