Callaghan Valley Microclimate:
Callaghan Country is located in the Coastal snowbelt – guaranteeing
abundant snowfalls, a reliable snowpack and a long ski season. The
Callaghan Valley is ringed on three sides by glaciated terrain; as the warm
moist air pushes up from the Pacific Ocean to the west over Brandywine,
Metal Dome, and Powder Mountains, the air gets super-cooled. To the
north and east, are the Pemberton Ice Cap and the Rainbow Mountain
glacier creating a climate in Callaghan Country that makes for greater than
average snow accumulation throughout the winter.
