SNOW,SNOW,SNOW!!!

This week not only did the mountains receive snow but so did we ! This past week Grouse received 57 new centimeters of snow, cypress with 30 cm of new snow and Seymour with 50 cm! Unfortunately though because of all the snow the conditions up there have not been the best. What type of person are you? Would you rather it to be snowing all year long or it to be sunny? Also do you prefer the snow to be kept on the mountains or ,do you like a snowfall down here every so often?
