Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in British Columbia experienced a significant recent snowfall of 51 centimeters (approximately 20 inches) over a 48-hour period, signifying winter is NOT OVER, even with a somewhat slow start to the season. 

The recent snowfall brought excitement–and POWDER–to the resort. There is more snowfall predicted in the upcoming days, with expectations of up to a foot of snow between February 29 and March 4. Furthermore, a forecast of seven inches of snowfall in the immediate future adds to the optimism.

The excitement extends beyond Kicking Horse, as there is anticipation across North America for a potential “Miracle March,” characterized by an abundance of snowfall and a final hurrah to an epic winter season. While the likelihood of this isn’t solidified (what weather is?), forecasts indicate a promising start to the spring season, with storms expected to impact the Pacific Northwest, Sierras and Colorado.
