Ski resort starts their total in October from what I could find, and they had nothing in Oct this year, so it's been all Nov-March. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleetussnow Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Sometime around 2015 or so some western ski areas were running until August. Cant remember if it was Colorado or California somewhere. Sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Alpine meadows lodge at 6809 feet is at 535” and the 8k plot is at 662”. They are going to crush their seasonal records I think even before the month is over. I think the record at the 8k plot is 707”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One sign of a good book is that it's better when read ag second time. UMaine wildlife professor highly recommended Sand County Almanac when I was there about 1973, and I've probably read it 8-10 times since. Pack down to 21", same as on Feb 27 and we've had 29" since then. Peak was 36" on March 4. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it was required but I remember reading that for intro to wildlife management course at UNH back in '88. Also recommend Nature I Loved by Bill Geagan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I was really shocked how little was left there, even up into Royalston and high els there wasn't too much, relatively. Maybe banding/orographics was better a bit E and N, e facing hills.. plus it was colder/less sun the day after (of course course few ticks colder). Also the hills /mtns block out the sun a bit more too compared to N ORH, where it can be kinda flat right at 800-1200, for distances. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

512high Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 My contact that does snow removal, Mammoth Lakes (8K elv.) was at roughly 550 " as of March 2, I think it was Brian, that mentioned they are now at 662", I would probably be claustrophobic being on the ground with that much snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the whole, a deep western trough in the means for months on end, everything fits with the totals experienced out there. Every single storm is an atmospheric river. Many years they only see a few events like that. This year it’s seemed like every event since late November. 300-600+ inches is a lot of snow no matter how you measure it.
