Utah is still on track for one of the worst snow fall years in history but things are looking up in the coming week and I still think March will be a big month. Check out my new Utah Weather blog at http://utahweather.blogspot.com with links to detailed snow fall forecast maps and other Utah weather links foucused on snow. I'm a meteorologist and will also post my snow fall forecast at times focused for the Wasatch. Enjoy!
Water freeze's at 32 anywhere in the world.
Anywhere I am skiing is the best at that moment!
Where is the greatest snow on earth?
I could tell you but then I would have to kill you.
Assumption: Earth ~ North America for the vast majority here
Answer in no particular order:
- British Columbia, where coastal gives way to interior but before the big dropoff in accumulation
- PNW at mid to higher elevations
- Pockets in Northern US Rockies that get localized, above normal mtn totals. ie. Targhee, Jackson, NW of Yellowstone, some areas in Idaho. maybe Wind Rivers?
- Central Wasatch, Ruby Mtns
- San Juans
- Erm, Alaska
Conclusion: We're lucky bastards and if you're in one of these areas life does not suck. This year it's the NW b/t AK & Cascades and some areas east. Last year Utah killed it along with a few others.
The NW portion of North America from Denali down to Wolf Creek imo is the best region for snow-horing machinists, two plankers, surfers, etc. This obviously includes a bias towards avoiding politically unstable areas or where people don't speak 'merican.
Kind of wish I was in the PNW for summer with all the mountaineering possibilities and mellower temps.
