B.C. ski resorts welcome significant snowfall boost

British Columbia ski resorts are experiencing a boost from recent snowfall, marking a significant improvement from last winter's poor conditions. Whistler Blackcomb reported 184 centimeters of snow in the past week, the highest since January 2021. With spring break approaching, resorts expect large crowds and longer lift lines. Operators advise visitors to plan ahead as conditions improve, but also warn of increased avalanche risks due to the rapid accumulation of fresh snow. Avalanche Canada has raised danger levels, particularly in the Columbia Mountains, where the risk is now classified as "high." Skiers are urged to stay informed about avalanche conditions and avoid risky areas.
