The hits just keep on coming.
A winter storm warning is in effect for Whistler on Tuesday, with up to 30 centimetres of snow expected by Wednesday morning and the potential for freezing rain on the Sea to Sky highway.
"A moisture-laden Pacific frontal system will bring heavy snow to the Sea to Sky highway. The snow will begin near noon and will ease Wednesday morning as the frontal system departs. There is a risk of freezing rain overnight and Wednesday morning," Environment Canada said Tuesday morning.
"Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays. Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve."
If visibility is reduced, drivers are advised to slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.
"The site shiftintowinter.ca reminds drivers to know before you go. Adjust to winter driving behaviour and use winter tires and chains," the warning said.

Those in need of emergency shelter can head to the Whistler Community Services Society at 8000 Nesters Road from 6 p.m. Tuesday to 8 a.m. Wednesday.
The storm comes just days after Whistler saw its first significant snowfall in weeks, and wind and heavy rain further south caused a serious landslide at Lions Bay. One person is confirmed dead and another still missing in the slide that closed Highway 99 overnight on Saturday.
