Hi there,

I'm looking at options to go skiing (really) early in the season this year. How early is snowfall in Canadian resorts? Is there a reliable and good cover in e.g. Banff late November / early December?

Sorry but with major weather changes late November is 50/50. You have have great storms in Rockies or just rain. There is no real base coverage so you might get a "dusting" but you will ruin ski bases.

As far as eastern skiing, the smaller centers will have artificial snow and the larger ones might have 70% coverage. Again this is coverage with little base!

Sorry!

Avoid December like the plague since it is holiday time.
