flag Warm BC weather delayed ski openings; climate change may threaten future seasons.

flag Unseasonably warm temperatures in British Columbia, with Vancouver hitting 15.7°C—11 degrees above normal—have delayed ski resort openings, including Grouse Mountain, Cypress, and Mount Seymour, due to insufficient snow. flag Kelowna reached 10°C, and 27 communities set record highs, defying typical La Niña cooling. flag Experts suggest climate change may be weakening La Niña’s cold influence, threatening ski seasons, with Whistler at risk by 2050. flag Some resorts opened in late November with limited runs, and improved snow forecasts for mid-December offer hope for the critical holiday season.
