Record snow in Canadian Rockies ski resorts
Ski resorts in the Canadian Rockies are experiencing record snow levels.
Sunshine Village has received a dump of 50cm over the last eight days, Norquay 26cm in the last week and Lake Louise Mountain Resort has been blanketed in 35cm.
At Marmot Basin, 42cm of snow has fallen over the last week and more is forecast.
But although snow conditions are excellent, temperatures are around minus 20.
Meanwhile, Europe has not seen major snow fall since the first week of January.
“It has been a bit warm, producing spring conditions,” said Al Morgan from the Ski Club of Great Britain.
“Scandinavia had snow at the weekend so it’s nice and fresh, and more snow is likely this week, but elsewhere the low altitude resorts are suffering from the warmer weather and are getting patchy, so it’s best to head up high.”
He said temperatures in Europe were set to drop towards the end of the week and snow is forecast over the weekend, or early next week.
