Snowfall warning remains in effect for Sea to Sky Highway

A snowfall warning remains in effect for the Sea to Sky Region, with 17 centimetres of snow falling overnight.

More snow is in the forecast with 15 to 20 cm expected to fall in total, before turning to showers in the valley later this afternoon.

Drivers reported hazaradous conditions last night describing the highways as a "gong show."

Squamish traffic services said up to 25 cars were in the ditch between Whistler and Squamish overnight—most have been cleared.

Whistler Blackcomb reports 24 cm of snow overnight with 23 of 26 lifts open and 149 of 240 trails open. Skiers and boarders are advised to stay on the groomed terrain and not to go out of bounds. With the heavy and late-season snowfalls recently conditions off the groomed areas are treacherous.

Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions on the roads. ShiftIntoWinter.ca reminds drivers to know before you go. Adjust to winter driving behaviour and use winter tires and chains.
