A woman clambered out of her car window after crashing off Longhill Road in Kelowna on Boxing Day.
Snow began to accumulate and make roads slick into the evening, especially at elevations away from Okanagan Lake.
Emergency crews were called to the rollover around 9:15 p.m.
There were still two tracks in the snow left by the black sedan as it drove off the road and tumbled over a one metre embankment next to an apple orchard.
