So, is golden the only one with no snow or is that the general theme for all areas in southern BC right now?

Seems like the snow is about 3 weeks behind schedule if you ask me.

Hit up Gorman on Sunday, I wouldn’t even go up to the lakes right now it’s so low. Typically this time of year you can at least ride some.

Good question. I have 12” in my back yard at 547m in Salmon Arm with a recent crust. Rain yesterday but I don’t think it went to the top. The Owls' camera (1,749 m) in Sicamous has 2’ or 60 cm. That is not near normal. Hunter’s Range out of Enderby is skinny. They have only groomed a little past the main Chalet as there are too many hazards.

Gorman right now is 2ft total base, way down from a typical 5ft


Silent is very spotty but on average 3ft with wind loaded areas at 6ft, down from a typical 5.5-6ft mark

Not great around Invermere too and the snow we do have is facetted to ground. Nothing in the forecast except for -30 temps next Monday.
I bought a new ice fishing shack...

It started out with a bang here, I’ve been out a few times but now it’s settled out and it’s still pretty low. Cold temps expected next week, still crossing my fingers for a big snow storm before Christmas.

Same thing on the skii resrorts. Was at Sunshine about 2 weeks after opening day and there was the LEAST amnount of snow that I can remember (started paying attention 2014) and by least I mean a good 12 to 20 foot less than what I am used to seeing in different areas

Except Fernie, best opening they have ever had.
Pano can't even run the summit lift, not enough coverage anywhere they didn't make snow
