Some traffic delays were expected for motorists using the Sea to Sky Highway on Saturday, as weather conditions worsened.
Environment Canada issued a number of snowfall warnings for the region, and a Jeep was seen in a ditch in the morning, with police on the scene.
The snowfall warnings in effect for the Whistler and Howe Sound areas have now been ended.
“A strong frontal system is bringing snow, at times heavy, to the Sea to Sky Highway and Whistler region,” Environment Canada’s alert said.
“Snow will continue through tonight and much of the day, with the heaviest snowfall accumulation expected now until this morning. This storm is anticipated to produce a further 10 to 15 cm.”
Snowfall is expected to taper off in the late afternoon, but will resume overnight.
DriveBC also issued a travel advisory for the Sea to Sky Highway, spanning from Squamish to Pemberton.
“Winter driving conditions. Slow down and drive to winter conditions,” DriveBC said.
“Expect travel delays due to congestion on all roads. Watch for maintenance crews. Travel only if necessary.”
