Snowiest February on Record

It's official. February's snowfall of 128 inches was the snowiest one on record. Blowing past February of 1998, which was the only season we exceeded 500 inches, by 20 inches.
Bryan who works in our IT department
carved out some time in his day to hit up the freshies. Days like these have been more common than not this season. Check out how much snow there is:
Of course, all of this great snow means fantastic skiing and as luck would have it, this is the one winter that I had to take care of medical issues and couldn't ski! I went into the hospital on January 29, which fell right in the snow cycle that Brian talked about here. You can't imagine how difficult it is to be sitting in a hospital bed watching it dump outside knowing that you can't enjoy the mountain, in all of it's might and glory.
And if that is not enough, March traditionally is one of our snowiest months. Will we exceed the 500 inches mark before the season ends? We are well on our way there. If you are lucky enough to find yourself on the mountain the next six weeks you won't be dissappointed. Blue Bird Skies + Great snow = An Amazing Day.
Please ski a run for me!
Ya..... its cool.

The mountain is a better place when your on it ski's or no ski's Krista! This winter has been amazing and it just gets better. We had 5 of the best ski days my family has ever had over Presidents Day weekend. The snow just does not get any better. First tracks are are the way to do it too. Its so good we are coming back for a second round in mid-March. If you love to ski then you need to take Krista's advice and hit the mountain soon. Maybe we will even see you at Mid-Mountain for a late lunch.
Krista replies: Thanks for the comment Larry. I'm glad that you and your family were able to partake of the incredible conditions. I can't wait to see you in a couple weeks.
