“With it being so nice over the fall, people weren't in the ski mood. They were still out hiking, they were still doing their summer activities,” said Dan Russell, general manager of Ski Cellar Snowboard.
“Instantly, it’s winter in Calgary and instantly they’re going ‘oh, I’ve gotta get things going, I’ve gotta get my skis in, I’ve gotta figure out what new we need in boots’ and they’re starting to take inventory of what they need to get skiing,” he told CTV News.Areas further south, in the mountains, could see close to 25 or 30 centimetres.
“We’ll hit our quota in one fall here and actually, this snowfall will be very similar to the first one we did see in October in terms of timing and amounts,” he said.Banff Sunshine Village is set to open on Thursday, Lake Louise Ski Resort expects to open Friday and Nakiska plans to open Saturday.As the snow falls, city crews will plow and de-ice the through lanes on Priority 1 routes, which are main roads that see 20,000 or more vehicles a day.
The Alberta Motor Association recommends people have an emergency roadside kit in their car with things like booster cables, a flashlight, warm clothes, a blanket, matches and even protein bars.
