first of all you need snow tires with the snowflake sign, if you get stopped without them you will get a ticket and probably a tow if it is snowing

they do plow the roads, but being a ski resort it obviously snows a lot
regarding the cost of living, it is ridiculous and is one of the most expensive cities to visit or live in Canada, perhaps North America
if it means anything I have not skied there in over 10 years, I just can't afford it
this being said you have REAL MONEY, we use Canadian pesos so everything for you is about 15-20% off
have fun
Actually the law is M&S or Mountain Snowflake.Mountain Snowflakes are better as mentioned but you won't be ticketed for M&S tires assuming they have a decent amount of tread on them.We are under the same rules in the Columbia Valley where I live. If you own chains bring them along but your tires should be good unless they get an absolute dump.
As far as I recall, the road is not that crazy, starting with rain in Vancouver and finally getting into snow.
