Steamboat
Over 5 feet of snow in 5 days! I'm still trying to catch my breath. It was lost hours ago in the 16" of fresh glorious snow at the top of 3 O'clock trees. Still breathing hard...

If your not skiing sweet turns through the trees today kick yourself. The snow is bottomless and the skies are still snowing. Looks like Mother Nature is going to keep the white stuff falling for the next few days.
