Navigating across Canada and the Western United States can be quite a challenging task during the winter. Western Canada is well known for its high mountain passes like the Coquihalla Summit, Rogers Pass, Crowsnest Pass, Kicking Horse Pass and the Duffy Lake road. Here are a few trips on navigating winter highways from our world class drivers.
The Coquihalla, formerly a fast moving four lane highway is now operating at a fraction of its old capacity as a two lane passageway through the British Columbia mountains. However meager it’s opening may be, we are so thankful to be able to use this major route once again to deliver the exotic cars you’ve been dreaming of.
The following is a short overview of the highway events we are following and links to some of the resources we like to use to keep updated on the realtime highway conditions in BC. You’re welcome!
Our Exotic Vehicle Escorts have travelled these highways a few times since the initial closures and will continue to do so in order to deliver the high level of service you’ve come to expect with Team Blackshark without risking the safety of the drivers, equipment or cargo.
