But you probably have other thoughts during the winter, when metres of snow and ice pile up on the Coquihalla summit, making the roadway below a dangerous and difficult drive. Actually that can and often does happen virtually any month of the year on the Coquihalla. British Columbia’s Coquihalla Highway has been a blessing and a curse since the first phase opened in May, 1986, just in time for Expo 86 in Vancouver.
