First and foremost, dooshnozzle - they are currently at 693".
Secondly, don't fuck up yet another forum with your presence. Get back to polyassfuck and stay there.

While I agree with most of this statement, Alta shows 702". Snowbird is sitting at 693".

Alta shows 702". Snowbird is sitting at 693".

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.
For example when Alta reached 700" in '05, '99, and '98, snowbird's total was still in the 500's.
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.

[lionelhutz]

Does it really matter? It's a fucking deep snowpack anyway you cut it.

[Tippster]

You trolling?

You guys know they moved the SB plot to a more representative location, right?

[smuggs]

they better move alta's plot to a more 'representative' location, because its deep as fuck top to bottom left to right all the time and often 15 inches is 30 but who cares.

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'.

[Downbound Train]

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!

[Bunion 2020]

Awww crap... again?

This message is hidden because Downbound Train is on your ignore list.



At least you finally posted something remotely related to skiing. Feeling o.k.?

[Canada1]

I'm thinking mid July before the stuff up high is open this year.

[Slaag Master]

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.

Yes it matters. Without a number it would be way harder to wave your dick around on the internet.

I don't think he gives a flying fuck about politics
Ullr is a skier
Pretty funny though you would waste all your time sowing the seeds of fuctarded poli asshattery and expect the snow gods to bestow the blessing of over the shoulder cold smoke blower pow for you to reap.

I don't vote, so today was GREAT!

I think he was actually grateful it didn't snow. Messes with his wedge turns.

I think you aren't feeling good about yourself.

[tomas tequila]

totally agree, alta gets way more snow.

What a f-in crock! So Alta who shares a ridge with Snowbird that goes all along P-gulch and then along Baldy including the backside called Chamonix, gets 200 more inches? Bullshit dudes. Sure at times Alta gets more snow, sometimes Baby Thunder get more snow than Little Cloud, sometimes given the characteristics of snowstorms it totally friggin dumps in Mineral Basin and the front-sides of both Snowbird and Alta get squat. Yep, Alta gets more snow than Snowbird, Brighton does too. But way more...? Not even.

This reminds me of the old saying/T-shirt - "Alta is higher than Snowbird", of so then why when one is at the top of Snowbird is the top of Alta lower? OK, Alta is higher up the canyon where is snows more sometimes, but not always and usually not much, and never 200 inches a year.
