Northwest off to a snowy start for the upcoming ski season

Northwest off to a snowy start for the upcoming ski season

by Cali Burk / Friday, 21 October 2016 / Published in Press Releases

For Immediate Release: October 21st, 2016

Northwest off to a snowy start for the upcoming ski season

According to the Open Snow website “Multiple storms hit the west coast and Pacific Northwest during the first half of October, which has resulted in a healthy snowpack for this time of the year”.  With our ski resorts being no exception – ‘Most of the higher mountains of British Columbia and Alberta are measuring 2-4 FEET’.  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’.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
