"It feels like you are inside of a snow global up here on the mountain," said Chantelle Deacon, media relations with SilverStar. 

"It looks like a winter wonderland up here, it's getting us very excited for the ski season!"

The forecast is calling for even more snowfall during the week, with SilverStar expecting to have an accumulated snowbase of over 50 cms by the weekend’s end.
