Breck got "4-6". It is really heavy and settled, if it was colder it would have been double that amount

The further north you go, the better. Some areas got around 9" last night up in the Rabbit Ears Range and Zirkels.
Loveland got 5"

Iski,
have you been to any of the IPW perm snowfields lately? Looking for some conditions, something doable as an 5-8 hour RT.
Thanks.
Maybe Queens way, Isabelle Glacier?

Skyscraper may be a good bet too, but again, be careful up on the top section.
I heard that the snowfields up the St. Vrain drainages are still in decent shape. However, with those you are looking at a 7 mile hike each way.

Loveland got a fair amount today. Depth is now about 16-18"
No pictures of my skiing today, but here are my tracks:
The snow was denser which helps.
My buddy tells me that south of Vail Pass got completely creamed.Originally Posted by blurred
