Canada’s previous good snow was not evident this year after and very poor conditions left some people calling it the worst season in 10 years. People taking holidays in Canada this year got something of let down.
Canada is world renowned for provided plentiful snowfall and top class conditions for those seeking the white rush.Most resorts are house hold names and places like Whistler usually deliver year on year to the masses of skiers and snowboarders who descend on the Rockies each season. However, this season just gone did not delivery quite as much magic as people were expecting.
A freak -30 degrees high pressure period just before the Christmas period left the slopes wanting and the usual low pressure snow drop never really materialised.Drops of around 4cm happened occasionally but this barely covered the slopes and melted before to long.One man interviewed as he left a resort states “it’s been borderline terrible”. Castle was the resort he had been to the previous week but upon his arrival he was greeted by zero cover and exposed slopes.“I maybe got 4 days of riding out of 14, that’s not good”. Another visitor said that she decided to ditch the skiing in favour of doing some sightseeing on one of the local company’s polar bear holidays.
The unreliable temperatures and pressures that caused the lack of snow have been blamed by many of the effects of global warming.This argument is brought into question however when you consider that many of the American resorts and most of those in Europe have just had one of the best seasons in their history. Most believe it simply bad luck and hope that their fortunes change next year
