Amazingly, we have had about 190 inches up in Flagstaff at the SnowBowl so far this year and more over at Sunrise in the eastern part of the state and it's still coming. In the last 24 hours Flag got 9 inches and Sunrise recieved 20"+.
With a season like this I had to retire my Rossi Equips for a new set of K2 Raiders; Powder skiing in tooth picks was just way too much work.

Thanks for the offer Mike I appreciate it but this year Karen and I are headed for Wolf Creek the week of March 9-15. Got a nice little cabin on the banks of the San Juan River so I'm gonna take my fly rod with me this year. Last year they were killing them in the late afternoons in down town Durango

I spent a week in NorthStar the winter of '83 in mid March. It was a big dump year and we got about 8 feet of snow during the week we were there. I rented one of the Condos up the hill about 1/4 mile from the lodge with the lift going by us. The day we checked in the snow was level with the floor about 3 feet above grade. The day we left it was up above the eaves of the roof.

Thanks Again,

Gregg & Karen

Yes it does.................

Wolf Creek 485 inches & counting for the season
Mammoth 330 inches
Flagstaff 225 inches
Sunrise 275 inches

Those last two are big numbers for an Arizona season

Beaver Creek -- 310' annual average. 313' as of this morning. March is, on average, the biggest snow month of the year. No telling how much we will end up with for the year.
