After stormy weather last weekend, Mount Washington Alpine Resort is now covered in snow.
The ski resort posted on social media Sunday showing the rapid change from bare slopes Friday afternoon to a blanket of snow by the end of the weekend.
Despite the first snowfall, the resort said the mountain remains closed to the public.
“Mount Washington terrain is completely closed to the public,” the resort said in a social media post. “You must remain off the mountain!”
The resort warned that anyone found in violation of the Alpine Responsibility Code will face penalties.
Drivers are allowed to travel up the mountain to view the snow but are reminded to ensure their vehicles are fully prepared for winter driving conditions.
Mount Washington said only its terrain is closed at this time. Visitors planning to explore nearby Strathcona Park are advised to check BC Parks for terrain updates.
The resort is currently targeting an opening day of Dec. 12.
