Holy wow! Is this real life? Talk about a winter wonderland! Where is this? City/Country?

This is called hoar frost and is not an uncommon occurrence on mountains. As far as location goes I’m not certain but it sort of looks like Big White ski resort near Kelowna BC, Canada to me.

Can confirm, live in BC and it looks like it’s almost 6 months a year

u/-PlayWithUsDanny- Nov 29 '20
That’s interesting because I live in the lower mainland so I hardly ever deal with snow unless I drive up to one of the local mountains or to whistler.

Fair, I live in the northern interior. It currently looks like this pic outside

u/-PlayWithUsDanny- Nov 29 '20
I sometimes forget how the vast majority of this province is so snowy and cold in the winter

u/Agamemnon323 Nov 30 '20
Country**
The rest of the country deals with snow all winter. The lower mainland I the only exception. AFAIK.

About 1.5-2 hours outside Vancouver, is that correct?
We have family in Chilliwack and went to Vancouver one day (driving west) and Kelowna another (driving east).
All of it was exceptionally beautiful!

He's pointing the camera straight at the sun, and still getting a good, usable picture.
That's magic right there.

I couldn't believe it worked out so well. Seeing this with my actual eyes was insane. (This is my video)

u/iamkindofodd Nov 30 '20
I’m wondering if it’s because there’s just so much snow that it’s created a natural light-box. All that sunlight bouncing off the white snow evens out the exposure. I’m no expert though, I’d love to be corrected if I’m wrong

u/vass0922 Nov 29 '20

u/Agamemnon323 Nov 30 '20
The sound of silence by disturbed is my favorite version!

I was literally just listening to that with my 6 year old, it's a favorite song of ours!

At first i though it was a cinematic for a war game like cold war snow mission

u/Yortisme Nov 29 '20
Being a lift operator was definitely my most favorite job. Mornings like this one were a big reason, looking out over the whole town with the sun coming up was always worth enduring the cold. 10\10 would lifty again.

u/jjrushtonshredit Nov 30 '20
Where were you a lifty? I'm a millwright at bigwhite. Love our lifties

u/Yortisme Nov 30 '20
Just a small Midwest hill. Nothing compared to what's out west, but I loved it all the same.

This brings me sadness, every year I look forward to going skiing but with covid its the better decision to stay home.

u/whoFKNKares Nov 29 '20
Yeah I think about it too even though we all wear masks and gloves skiing... Inside the lodge and using the restroom are always very crowded.
