CANADA WEST REPORT The snowfalls in western Canada last week began to add up to some quite impressive totals - Whistler Blackcomb (10/280cm / 4/112") posting nearly 1.5m (5 feet) on higher slopes over the 7 days to last Thursday, for example. The improvement was most noticeable at smaller areas like Cypress Mountain (65/302cm / 26/121") and Grouse Mountain further down the coast towards Vancouver, though, which went from almost unable to open anything for much of this winter to finally being almost fully open.
