Canada snow forecast
No snow is expected at any of the 17 places in Canada in the next 7 days.
Snow in Canada
Canada’s skiing splits between the west and Quebec. British Columbia has Whistler Blackcomb, the largest resort in North America, in the Coast Mountains, and a string of powder resorts in the interior: Revelstoke and Kicking Horse in the Columbia Mountains, Fernie in the Rockies, Sun Peaks and Big White. Alberta has Lake Louise and Sunshine Village in Banff National Park. In the east, Mont-Tremblant in the Laurentians is the biggest resort near Montreal.
The west’s snow comes from Pacific storms. Whistler, close to the coast, gets it wet and deep; the interior resorts get it drier and lighter as the storms cross range after range. In our record the Canadian resorts average 12 snowy days at mid-mountain from January to March and 14 in December, and Whistler’s record shows 17 to 18 in December and January.
When it snows
Whistler and the Banff resorts open in November and run into April or May; the interior resorts open in early to mid-December. Quebec’s season runs from late November to mid-April, with cold, dry snow.
Getting there
Vancouver airport is about two hours from Whistler. Calgary serves Banff, Lake Louise and, further west, Kicking Horse and Fernie; Kelowna serves Big White and Revelstoke. Montreal is about 90 minutes from Mont-Tremblant.
