@MingGuoLi No, the highway doesn't have a schedule to when it closes, only during peak snowstorms. I truck the #1 all the time, and rarely does it close for any reason.
i grew up in Revelstoke i loved those mountains and miss them very much but due to lack of work in the area i have moved and moved and moved farther away till I'm now in SK Canada. one day i will return to my beloved mountains. my father worked on that CP Rail tunnel project as a mechanic on the west end of it. tyvm much for these memories had me in tears wishing i was home in my mountains.
When they first built the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1880s it used this route...but they eventually tunneled under the area (now they use the Connaught and Mount McDonald Tunnels, two of the longest train tunnels in North America)...too many avalanches and the fact the trains had to ascend enormous heights were the reasons.
me too someday i will go back to BC and start a family i was born there now in SK and want to move back and see the mountains and everything its so pretty looking at the mountains in winter time i wish i was in Bc and driving along the hills and through tunnels and briages
Does Highway 1 routinely close during the winter or was it the weather that closed the highway before your trip?
