Chinook forming over Mount Yamnuska and the Rocky Mountains. Chinook is first nations for 'Snow Eater' and for good reason! The warm winds flowing over the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains from the Pacific Ocean are much appreciated during winter. The winds can blow over 100kms an hour and raise the temperatures from -20 to +20c in less than an hour! Such a cool or hot weather phenomena!
