It's been a ski season to remember, many agree, but is it one for the record books?
Not quite, according to the data.
But snowfall totals across Summit County do come close to 10-year averages, making it one of the better seasons in awhile.
“I went out on the mountain on Monday and it was some of the best powder I have ever experienced since living in the High Country,” Arapahoe Basin spokeswoman Kimberly Trembearth said. “Our COO (Alan Henceroth) simply used the word ‘perfection' to describe the mountain over the past few days.”
A-Basin has recorded 310 inches to date, which approaches the 10-year average of 350 inches but falls short of the 1979-80 record season when 550 inches of snow dropped to the ground.
