Canada webcam snow report: west to east

October 26, 2009 By Stano Faban 4 Comments

After a week of flurries and rain at lower elevations the temperatures higher up were much colder and we can see some real snow now. Weather forecast is calling for more precipitation over the next couple of days except some occasional sunny periods. Let’s hope snow is here to stay.
Update on this report at 7pm on Oct 26:
People are reporting that some decent skiing is to be had around the Revelstoke – Rogers Pass area, higher elevations of course. Also, it looks like Sunshine Meadows (and Village) got some reasonable snow past few days and skiing was reported.

Below are images (taken at 11am on Oct 26, 2009) from five webcams that capture scenery at five different ski resorts:

  • Whistler Blackcomb, Coast Mountains (Whistler, BC)
  • Sun Peaks, Interior (Kamloops, BC)
  • Big White, Interior (Kelowna, BC)
  • Kicking Horse, between Columbia and Rocky Mountains (Golden, BC)
  • Lake Louise, Rocky Mountains (Lake Louise, AB)

Whistler Blackcomb

Webcam is located at 1860m on Blackcomb Mountain. This is 1100m higher than the base which had around 1cm of snow covering the grass at 11am this morning.

    Hi stan….you should get the sunshine webcam up there. I skied up in the meadows 2 days last week w/ 1.5-2 feet of snow. I was able to start skinning about 2/3 of the way up the ski out. the road was open, but now is closed and should get good fast. Not too great for turns yet, but general fitness and base training is excellent. I’m in whistler for the week and it is quite warm. Can’t wait to get back to the Rockies!
