The boreal cordillera usually has very long, cold, winters and short, cool summers. Average winter temperatures are -18ºC, while the short summer averages 10ºC. (Torsten Bernhardt)
It is very dry, as the mean annual precipitation is 460 to 700 mm with 35 to 60% falling as snow. (Environment Canada)
The climate is an interior sub-alpine type, and the mean annual temperature is -0.7 to -0.3°C. Average temperatures top 10°C for only one month a year.
Moist Pacific air causes sudden, often violent, storms during summer.
