Before you book
This bet missed 2 of the last 10.
None of the last 10 came in under 8″ — a bust, under a third of the bet.
Odds count natural snowfall only. At snowmaking-dependent resorts, early-season cover can be fine in a low-natural-snow year.
The season, window by window
The bet: 12″ of new snow per week, scaled to each window. Counted from real seasons — how our odds work.

The middle season — median new snow per window, counted from the last 20 winters. A picture of timing, not a forecast. Snow is streaky; hover any window for the usual range.

Field notes
The most lift-served vertical in North America and the most big-mountain feel of any resort in British Columbia — long, sustained fall lines, the North Bowl entrances, and interior snow quality at coastal quantity. A freerider's mountain, full stop.
Getting there is the filter: fly to Kelowna and drive, or make the long haul up the Trans-Canada. Ikon days. The town is a real rail-and-logging town turning ski-town, and cat and heli operations surround it for the ambitious.

These are historical odds from the last 20 winters — not a forecast. Inside 16 days of a trip, a forecast is the better instrument; beyond that, counting real seasons is the honest play. Every number on this page is quoted under methodology v1.2.0, the same math we grade ourselves against in public.
