The cool wet weather over the Southern Interior has brought snow to two of the four main regional ski resorts today.
Webcams from Big White Ski Resort just before 8 a.m. today, June 14, show snow in the village, although it doesn’t register any snowfall amounts on its website.
Apex Mountain doesn’t have a webcam showing the bottom of the mountain but shows a good amount of snow at the top of the quad lift.
