The Snow Kept Coming and the Records Kept Falling!
The snow was big and the smiles were HUGE! Wave after wave of big snow storms brought record snow to our favorite slopes this season! This year we saw records broken for monthly snowfall totals, consecutive day snow accumulation and more, putting some resorts above their annual average snowfall before February. A few broke all time snowfall records! Steamboat had almost 40 feet, Jackson Hole set a record with more than 50 feet - Yes... Fifty Feet of Teton Mountain Powder. March was just as plentiful and right up through the second week of April, the Rocky Mountain resorts were enjoying powder-filled mid-winter conditions. If you were hiding under a rock and happened to miss all of the fun, remember, It's not too early to start planning for next season!
