As of today, Snowbird, with over 20 FEET (246") of snow so far this season is #1 in North America.

My legs are tired.

Two more storms lined up in the next week. Keep 'em commin'!
#2 is Revelstoke at 244".

I live here (Park City actually, where we have half as much - 10 feet - as Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons). Snowpack is a big deal here because it's basically a desert in the summer. We're well above normal so far, but the avalanche danger in the BC is pretty high.

This is great dude! Nice going. Farm that stuff, and send it! You have a picture of you up to your armpits?

We are pounding our heads this year over in New England. I did a quick trip to the Old World to deal with some family business and scratched in a few days, but there is a large, immovable, persistent high pressure hanging out over the Alps. Last snow was before Christmas and it got warm and froze so everything is concrete except the groomers, which are very nice. Too bad I had the V6's... everyone was one their go-fast groomer ski laying down sweet tracks. Which is why I'm suddenly tres interested in that Rossi. At least the sun was bright.

We need a good pile of snow here in New England, warm, rain, 50 degrees this weekend! I'm heading south to see some family over the weekend so I don't cry too hard about it.

Yeah, seems to me a few years ago we were in a drought and the East was getting pounded!
I WAS up to my armpits today, but that was after my fall.
