bjvircks Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 The report from Silver Mtn ( 1 hr east of Spokane ) claims 200 inches of snow so far this season. Claims 92" base at peak, 66" base avg mid-mtn. Web cams seem to indicate the place has few people on the mtn. If this is all true... way cool! Quote
Blue Bird Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 big mountain, MT is claiming 160" has fallen - 72" base your report sounds realistic Quote
bjvircks Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks, Blue Bird... Big Sky is claiming 54" peak, 36" mid mtn. I'm going to be at Big Sky with my ski club March 3-10. What do you think things will be like then? How do Big Sky and Big Mountain compare? Quote
ShortcutToMoncton Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Marmot Basin: 303cm total snowfall, 115 settled base mid-mountain Lake Louise: 275cm total snowfall mid-mountain, 157cm base Sunshine: 415cm total snowfall, 173cm base :lol: Quote
Mike T Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Bachelor - 260" cumulative, 100 and change snowpack... these figures are valid... completely realistic. Quote
bjvircks Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 If Silver Mtn claims are true (200" fallen, 92" base at peak, 66" base avg mid-mtn) they've got everybody beat (well, not Bachelor) Marmot Basin: 303cm (119") total snowfall, 115 (45") settled base mid-mountain Lake Louise: 275cm (108") total snowfall mid-mountain, 157cm (62") base Sunshine: 415cm (163") total snowfall, 173cm (68") base Quote
Jon Dahl Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Mt. Baker 170 inch base @ Pan dome, 157 inch @ Heather meadows. Stevens Pass 100 inch base, 278 inch total snowfall. Quote
Blue Bird Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Thanks, Blue Bird...Big Sky is claiming 54" peak, 36" mid mtn. I'm going to be at Big Sky with my ski club March 3-10. What do you think things will be like then? How do Big Sky and Big Mountain compare? Things only get better in March. I haven't skied Big Mountain yet, I got the info off of their site. I know 4 - 5 people that have moved to the area and never come back. I haven't been to Big Sky since Jr. High (scary, that was 20 years ago). I remember it as being a lot of fun. Enjoy it!! Quote
Dr D Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Thanks, Blue Bird...Big Sky is claiming 54" peak, 36" mid mtn. I'm going to be at Big Sky with my ski club March 3-10. What do you think things will be like then? How do Big Sky and Big Mountain compare? I can't speak for big sky having never been there but I board Big mtn three times a week. The claims are correct. IT snowed a good foot while I was on the mtn yesterday and they only claimed 8" on this mornings report. so if anything the snowfall claims are light. the settled base is accurate I am sure. we are a little low for this time of year at the village level but ITs snowing every day lately. Big sky has a reputation for great powder. I was more than satisfied yesterday IT was epic on big mtn. Every run was causing manic laughter and fits of giggling. The best day that I remember ever being up there. Its looking like a good year. several of the really big storms have missed us to the south which would put them right on top of silver mtn. I would guess that 200 inches is accurate. there is always that groomer guarantee of theirs to consider as well:biggthump Quote
