After the driest summer on record, it was easy to worry about the BC ski resorts - when would the snow arrive and how much? Mother Nature works in mysterious ways. On October 16th, Vancouver experienced record rainfall in one day and the snow has started to accumulate at the ski resorts.

The Farmer's Almanac's long range forecast for Nov. 2003 - Oct. 2004 is "Precipitation will be above normal this winter." There is already snow at Big White and other ski resorts. It is time to start planning this year's ski vacation!
