Yes, been lots of snow the past weelk and highways closed for avalanche control as well as the regular traffic accidents.
Arriving on a repo cruise? Details might help as a stop in Victoria could mean there's next to no clearance procedures in Vancouver.
If you can get a rental car in town and leave early enough, you can make a lot of headway the first day as you won't be driving with commuter traffic.

This is another reason Calgary doesn’t really work. A one way rental Is Jaw droppingly expensive.

I still follow Fairmont Lake Louise and a couple other places on Facebook from our trip a couple years ago - I LOVE to see their snow pictures, though it makes me quite envious! We were there in 2018 for the Snow & Ice Festivals (snow in Banff, ice at Lake Louise). I hope you enjoy!! Each time I see the amount of snow at the ski resorts, I'm tempted to book another trip :-)

Or booking through a European provider - I rented with Canadian Affair a few years ago, between Calgary and Vancouver, no one way fees, and I drove it on my Canadian licence.

They have since, reportedly (somewhat recently), tightened it up. One of the biggest hit have been Australians.
