Exactly.
Yeah 300+" and Snowbird skiing well into May doesn't get much sympathy from me. :lol:
Only Jay in the east sees that kind of season with any regularity. (((((Thetrailboss))))).
Killington went longer than Snowbird in 2014-2015.

But, they didn't get 300"
Jay is really the only place in the East that gets the kind of season you just had in an off year. That's all I'm saying.

They didn't even get 200". Last years season total was 198".But, they didn't get 300"

True.
Out here it snowed in December and early January and then just stopped. That's what killed us. We got nothing to "freshen" things up and were skiing on the same hammered base all season.

It's true. significantly below average last year.

Incorrect. Stowe averages 310" or so and sugarbush/MRG about 270". All the mountains on the Green Mtn spine from Killington north get 300" seasons not uncommonly.
here's Stowe totals

Discussing snow totals....it's clearly summer.

You all whine too much or a little too snow greedy - last season rocked IMO. I would take last season again in a heartbeat. At least in the east.
In terms of best snowmaking? Usual suspects I'd say....Sunday River, Okemo, Sunapee, Killington.

+1. IMHO, the extended period of below freezing temps of last winter made for some of the best season long snow surface conditions the east has had in the past decade.

I'm aware. Lived in Stowe for many years.
The qualifier was frequent 300 inch seasons that end in May like Snowbird had this season. Stowe has never made it to May. Sugarbush and Killington make it to May often, but only get 300" occasionally.
This was a "bad" year at Snowbird, but only Jay in the east equals it withe regularity - 300 inches and skiing into May

By choice.
Correct. Even during the monster 2000-2001 year they shut down around April 21st. TTB hike to turns were available until early May when the run outs burned out. Upper mountain skiing held on until mid month. So basically Stowes best ever equals below average at Snowbird.
