What a crock. That's some new math marketing right there. If you've skied LCC for almost 40 years like I have, you'll know it is absolutely impossible for snowbird's season total to be that close to alta's. Ever.Quote:

Snow physics haven't suddenly changed. If Alta's 702", you can bet the ranch snowbird's actual is 500-something. But, whatever. Can't deny it works for marketing.
totally agree, alta gets way more snow.Quote:

seems like the bird is deep in the mid elevation and on the left side thats coinsidentally closer to alta. top is wind scour, mineral is sun beat, bottom is rain, and around baby thunder it just doesn't snow sometimes. but whatever snowbird congrats on breaking your 'record'.
Sitting at 705" right now with 25" in the forcast before closing day Sunday.
720" = 60 Feet. 60 FEET!
Ullr must be a leftie. I was there for a week and didn't see a FLAKE!
Awww crap... again?
This message is hidden because Downbound Train is on your ignore list.
:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
At least you finally posted something remotely related to skiing. Feeling o.k.?
I'm thinking mid July before the stuff up high is open this year.
made my first uphill climb of 2011 yesterday - shitloads of snow - great turns till the end of july
Which is just FKN perfect, because I'll be there the first week in August. If there's a sliver left up top, I'll buy ya a tram ticket.Quote:

I don't vote, so today was GREAT!
I think he was actually grateful it didn't snow. Messes with his wedge turns.Quote:

Yep, Alta gets more snow than Snowbird, Brighton does too. But way more...? Not even.Quote:

Wedge turns are mighty strong.
some people are fucking idiots.
NEVER? Good, because no one EVER said there's a 200 inch difference. So...uh, not so good in reading comprehension. I know...maybe you're better at math. Bzzzzzzzzzt! Nope.Quote:

Since these are historical facts, it doesn't matter what you think, or whether you like them. Facts just...exist. However, some people may care how you interpreted and changed what was reported.
The difference between Alta's 700" and a number "in the 500's" might be 101". In the context of this thread it might even be 150", but the number can NEVER be 200". It is a numeric impossibility.
Just sayin.
ahem... You sure about that?Quote:

and just to check my math, 500+199 is... add one, thats 500 + 200.
I got 700, what did you get? Should we try it backwards?
;)
Sad. True.Quote:

Brighton has changed their snow depth plot location in recent years, snowbird changed theirs this year, PCMR is at the highest point at the ski area, vail resort misreports spring snow melt.
ALTA, on the other hand, has had their plot in the same mid-elevation location for the last 30 years and gladly displays its snowfall history on their website
also, i'd like to add that the geography of the wasatch is as such that the location of alta looks like a catcher's mitt for lake effected storms. its also located on the crest of the wasatch, which is good for orographic lift. so its not surprising that alta gets more snow over the course of a season.
Amen!
Truth in advertizing.
:cool:
Snowbird Plot
For any that are curious snowbird versus average.
Haters will hate. Sorry but Snowbird has more than what they report. Working at Snowbird at Mid-Gad clearing the deck or skiing onto the deck for work, many mornings snow report of "x" snow, snow on deck =X+2 or more inches. with the very rare occasion of less than reported. Sorry your mad that Alta is closed and Snowbird is still open.Quote:

They should have stuck with the first stake and kept it on-line. If you are proud of your snow, show it. Save the boasting of what ya got for the PC Crowd. This trust us shit gets old and I can do my own math.Quote:
