Record snow levels in the Canadian Rockies

The season began with dump, after dump, after dump of powder white snow in the Canadian Rockies and Canadians rushed to the mountains. Now while other areas of Canada and Europe are experiencing little snow, the Canadian Rockies continues to have extreme levels this year. With 178 cm (5.8 feet) of snow so far and more forecasted for January to April, the Rockies are expected to offer the best ski experience in Canada.

“Whether you like the extremes or the groomers or just hanging with your family, the Banff and Lake Louise ski experience is the most treasured in Canada,” says Dan Markham, Director of Marketing & Sales at Ski Banff Lake Louise Sunshine. “Our tri-area ski pass allows you the flexibility of moving from one mountain resort to the other and puts the skier in the middle of Canada’s first national park, dramatic natural beauty and light, dry champagne powder snow”.

With the heaviest widespread snowfalls predicted by ‘The Old Farmers Almanac’ in late January and in early to mid-February, the Canadian Rockies are where you want to be!
