Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Fernie Alpine Resort and Kimberley Alpine Resort in B.C have already been hit with major Thanksgiving snowstorms, while Nakiska Ski Area in Alberta has been getting consistent snowfall since the beginning of October!
With no signs of it stopping, opensnow.com says ‘From October 20 through the 26th, we’ll see additional storms in the northwest’.
