If Alta’s website is accurate, we are looking at 16 inches of 2% density snow this morning. Don’t sneeze too hard or you may blow it off the hill.
Up at 10420 right now and I'd say there's around 6" up hereQuote:

All Kevins aside, I really appreciate seeing real reports from real skiers, especially on powder days like this [deep fairy dust on crust?] when I have to hold myself back from dealing with traffic and chaos. Long winter ahead as it fills in and eventually settles a bit. Thanks for the actual stoke!!
yeah i'd say that upper big had a fair 6" of light snow on top of a spongey, fun base. 10420 is still full of sharks, but i got enough fun turns in that it was worth my timeQuote:

Historically the Alta snow report has been very accurate but I have also seen weird numbers lately, like today they are usually fixed. I think what is going on with the Alta reports is they are automated to update every hour using the Collins study plot which can have glitches but once a human steps in and looks at it they are fixed.
The Snowbird snow reports are historically the ones that drive me crazy! Look at today where Snowbird is reporting a storm total of 15" and Alta 12". The only automated site at Snowbird to look at on-line is the Snotel site at the top of the mid-gad lift which can be found be clicking HERE.
The total depth on the Collins study plot went up by 10" with this storm which matches well with a 12" storm total taking settling into consideration. Looking at Snowbird Snotel site (which I know is not their official study plot) you can see the total depth change with this storm was 7".
I would say Alta got 8 to 10”Quote:

I've noticed the inconsistency in alta's snowfall reporting since the marketing department took over those duties from patrol. It kind of annoys me since Alta's snowfall has historically been accurate and trustworthy. But oh well, things change and Alta gets radder. Not rad enough for Kevin, of course.Quote:

I think the Alta boys finally invested in a dehumidifier that they're running above the snow board. That thing strips 5% water content from every snowflake and artificially inflates the measured numbers. They got the idea from the Bird I hear. That or both resorts have managed to enhance the NW flow in a really small zone around their instruments.Quote:

Me think Kevin needs to learn how to multi-quote instead of padding his post-count, a full page of responses by an aggrieved teenager isn't something that should ever happen in this thread. And please don't respond to this K, you win, you're a better skier than me, etc...
Not sure how much snow there was but the skiing today sure was great. Only truly "wtf is happening" skiing I found was on yellow trail where I was hitting the rain? crust until I got around low notch.
Thought it was a much better pow day than last Friday :yourock:
Oh yea and what was that solo skier doing setting a skinner up the gut of superior as we headed out at like 1:30? Kevin?
They don't call it suicide chute for nothing?Quote:

At least it looked smooth.
Pretty good skiing most everywhere else.
'Bout the snow measuring thing, guess I shouldn't use my dick.
Wife claims I exaggerate, too.
Not uncommon to see folks lapping the apron this time of year. could've been checking the coverage etc.Quote:
