oh...my...goodness...

more snow folks. here's some numbers:

9 inches have fallen as of about 2 a.m. this morning. still dumping - i can't see downtown from my work window.

the ski area has the most snow in the state - 134 inches have fallen so far this season at midmountain. to give you some perspective, that's already more than 1/3 of our season average, and it's only december 6th. if you count december, we still have 4 1/2 months of snow to go.

15 inches in october, 83 inches in november (snowiest november on record for steamboat ever), and 45 inches and counting in december.

largest compacted summit base of all colorado ski areas at 69 inches.

midmountain numbers - 20 inches in past 3 days, 45 inches in past 6 days, 58 inches in past 8 days, 86 inches in past 10 days.

(as an aside to my man roberto - you need to get your ass out here, and bring your bandit B3's with you, sucker!)

these pics represent what my past 2 days on the mountain have looked like. absolutely, positively epic conditions.
