I can confirm that Alta really HAS reached 500" of snow so far this season, often when
it snows I attempt to match the snowfall amount they've had with a measurement, and
there is no question the midstation/Collins area has really achieved that, if not more snow.
This is the first time in 15 years Alta has reached that milestone so early in the season, since
the snow season there extends well into the spring...

This leads to an interesting question.If the snow was measured at the summit, would there
be enough snow this season, or SOME season to topled Mt. Baker's 1,100" world record?

Hmmm, I bet one of these years at the summit it would be close, although that seems nearly
impossible at midstation or at the base.

Here's another question for you: Snowbird tends to remain partially open on weekends as long as possible. Last year, a very early Mid May close. The year before, July 4. This year? Can we go for the 4th again??
