Highway 99 climbs from sea level at Horseshoe Bay to Whistler, and the weather changes on the way: rain at Lions Bay can be snow by Daisy Lake. These are the province's own DriveBC cameras in driving order from Vancouver to Whistler, with a second row for the drive home.
Northbound: Horseshoe Bay to Whistler
Coming back to Vancouver: southbound views

Closures and delays
How to read the Sea to Sky cameras
- The climb is where it turns. Culliton, Daisy Lake and Brew Creek sit on
the stretch between Squamish and Whistler. If the road is white there, expect winter
conditions the rest of the way, whatever Lions Bay looks like.
- Check the time stamped in each image. A frozen frame tells you nothing
about the road now; open the camera on DriveBC if the time looks wrong.
- Sunday afternoon southbound is the slow one in ski season: look at the
Whistler and Function Junction frames before you leave the village.
Before you drive to Whistler in winter
- Winter tires are the law on the Sea to Sky from 1 October. M+S or
three-peak mountain snowflake tires with at least 3.5 mm of tread; read the roadside
sign for the end date on your route. Details on
driving in Vancouver and B.C.
- Closures: crashes and rockfall can close Highway 99 with no quick
detour. The road closures page lists current
DriveBC events.
- Snow at the top: the snow report
has Whistler Blackcomb and the three North Shore mountains.
