First Snowfalls, Upcoming weather and Storms of winter 2024-2025. Storm (snow totals), Observations and Predictions?

[KustyTheKlown]

Some years ago (10+) I was told by a BC resort rep (Fernie IIRC) at the Boston ski expo that US citizens are not allowed to cross into the US with Canadian rental cars. IDK whether that's still the case but, just FYI.
And separately, for Whitefish

thanks. ya, crossing with a car i dont own is my concern. its a turo but yep thats my major worry about going into the us. prob wont go south of castle/red. i really hope it just snows where i am going.

If you can make it, get to Castle. Bummed we had to omit it on our trip.

While at Revy, we were hiking to the sub peak with some Panorama locals who said it’s pretty thin there right now. Talking with them is what convinced us to stay the extra days at Revelstoke instead of Panorama.

Haven’t paid much attention to the snow situation since we returned from there. But Revelstoke was the only one getting any snow. Even if it was 1-2” overnight it made a difference and added up over the week we stayed.

yep. as of now its looking like some minor accumulations that i hope add up. banff area looks dry as a bone while i am there tho, and have not seen snow in a week or so. i may audible first half of the trip to red. getting a bit worried and frantically refreshing weather models.

i made a map of audibles. all but baker and whitefish and kicking horse are on my ikon or indy (impressive regional coverage!)

dunno why 49N and KH didnt get a label

my turo host (which is a rental fleet using turo as a platform and not a regular joe car owner) says its fine to go back and forth to the usa

Sounds a lot like the French Connection

Friend of mine pretty much just did all that...drove the whole thing from utah

other friends at Fernie last week missed out on a couple days of skiing upper mountain terrain because of the cold. They shut down all upper mountain and longer lifs. I see red had delayed opening today for same reason. Something to investigate. Kicking Horse gondola for the win
