2022-12-20 Downtown Vancouver snow report (w/ Grouse report too)
Unfortunately due to heavy snow in the city and Grouse’s delayed opening, I had to give up going to Grouse for today’s report. Let me post Downtown Vancouver snow report instead.
#RiderAlert (1/2) With heavy snow falling throughout the night and into the morning, TransLink's snow plan for severe weather is active. We are advising customers to expect considerable delays, particularly on the bus network, and avoid travelling where possible.

The snow depth in Downtown Vancouver was about 20cm.
The snow was soft, fluffy, and dry. When you drop a snowboard it sinks like that.
