THE SNOW IS GREAT FOR SNOWSHOING IN MERRITT, BC

Merritt's climate is semi arid and the winters are reasonably mild therefore snowshoeing is relatively limited in town. However, we can be assured that we will receive enough snow to get in a few weeks snowshoe fun. For example, this year we had a very large snow storm that dumped 40 cm in one day. Clearly a great amount snow. The nice thing about it , it is light and fluffy. To get an idea of what this looks like, take a look at my backyard after the storm.
