2004-2005 was our snowiest season in the past five years.  We ended the season with 296 inches total.

 This time of the season in 1997 the resort had accumulated 280 inches. We are well on our way to surpassing this big snow year.  If we do surpass the 1996-97 season that will makes this year our 5th snowiest winter in recorded resort history.

Forecasters are calling for more storms during the final week of February with a foot of accumulation expected on Sunday night and more snow through Tuesday. If we get the minimum forecasted we will have the second snowiest February in recorded resort history.
