Fernie ski resort in British Columbia just received 75cms (30 inches) of new snow in 24 hours on November 3rd, 2013.  This video shows some locals getting shacked in a way that just doesn’t seem right for this early in the season.

Fernie had a good season last year with 1110cms (437 inches) of snowfall.  This year, they are well on there way to beating that number.
