The total accumulation last month was 560cm (18 feet) of snowfall, nearly four times that of November's average snowfall of 148cm (58 inches). This is an increase of more than 19 percent over the previous record of 469cm (185 inches) set in January 2006, and a 22 percent increase over January 1992's record of 459cm (181 inches).
And now, with the record broken, there is still an entire season of skiing and riding left to go. With a season that offers 192 days of skiing and riding, Whistler Blackcomb is already over half way towards the resort's average annual snowfall of just over 10 metres (33 feet).
