Alberta snowpacks much deeper thanks to heavy snowfall

Thanks to heavy snow throughout the winter, many sections of the Rocky Mountains are seeing snowpacks much deeper than in previous years. Drew Stremick reports.

Along the B.C.-Alberta border, ski resorts remain packed as ideal conditions continue to attract skiers and snowboarders.

The excessive snowfall has also helped replenish snow pillows and reservoirs, which some experts believe will help reinvigorate ranches and farms across Alberta that have dealt with drought conditions.
