should probably mention that utah hit the 500" mark today (or at least snowbird did), since that's actually relevant to me.

Season is over for me. Pretty typical for CNY. December 10th to March 20th is about average. Can't wait to move to the Appalachians, Rockies, Sierras, or Cascades after college and extend it to at least November 15th to April 15th.

At least mountain biking season is about to start...

Dude Kirkwood on Saturday was fucking waist deep. It was stupid. I didn't know what to do to with myself.

My face still hurts from smiling.

The Sierra are getting pounded.  I skied waist deep pow at Mammoth this weekend. 

Mammoth and Tahoe should have good snow until Memorial Day.  That is putting it mildly, Mammoth should be good until July 4th.

Condolences for those of you whose season is done.

I lost all of my snow In a matter of 2 weeks, and this year was almost a record breaking total snowfall. It's been hot and rainy and looking like mid-late april for a while.. until today. Got 2 inches of snow and possible another 4 in 2 days. My mountain was planning on closing sunday and i've been so bummed until these storms came and may have saved the day!
