La Nina has arrived, and she is initiating some of the most widespread early opening days we have seen in a long time. Most mountains that are open now are still looking pretty thin as far as bases go, but out here on the coast bases are well over 100cm now. Not bad considering many seasons haven't even seen snow by this time.
We here at Shred BC have a couple new features on the site to help you figure out where the best conditions are and possibly even get a deal on a lift ticket.
Our new
Web Cams page gives you the ability to see over 30 live shots from various mountains in and around the province, and even a couple traffic shots to hopefully help avoid any delays on that front.
