In like 2001 or 2002 we got steady snow in Tahoe for days on days on days. 5 feet of fresh snow over a week or so. When I skied it, there was about 3.5-4 feet of actual powder. I wasn't heavy enough to sink down, but my dad was in powder that would have hit my chin.
Deepest snow I've ever experienced was in Whistler in 2011. It had snowed 6 feet in the previous 6 days and then 40cm over night. On top of that I had taken out a pair of 4FRNT Renegades to demo.
By 11am I had torn my pants on a buried stump, but I didn't care. It was bottomless.
Skiing a storm in Niseko... I think we got 110cm between midday and 6pm. Over the head blower, that sorta thing.
This was about halfway through, when it was around waist deep.

came here to post this, i think something like that happened the next year too. 2010 had the crazy november, 2011 was the la nina, and 2012 had the record march...that was a fun three years
Skip right to 13:20 to see shots from the best day of skiing in my life. Shit was absolutely insane and right here on the east coast. I never knew that could happen.

Got about 3 feet at Echo Mountain, which used to be a hill in the foothills of CO, super close to Denver. Snow was unreal, shitty part was that the run is exceptionally short and it's not very steep, so we couldn't really enjoy it.
Best actual day powder skiing ever was when I went to Evolve Chile three years ago. Forecasted 14cm, which is about 6in. Woke up and we had over two feet. Hung out with only one other camper and a coach waiting for the top lift to open. Got first tracks down super steep, super deep, super floaty pow, then lapped it all day and kept getting rad snow.

Yeah right! Whistler has really good pow pow snow! I love spending my entire ski vacation in that place. Even spring skiing is still best!
A meter and 60cm of fresh on top of a 8m base this year in Italy. It was so deep in some turns you wouldn't just be in your own spray, you would be snorkeling in the snow. Defo one of the best days of my life
