S’cuze me, can I get some snow please.

Yum... powder.

Like every diehard snow slider, I’ve been praying for snow. I know, I know, everybody is saying the same lame thing, “Dude, pray for snow”, but it must be working because the past week has been incredible. I got a nice 15″ Christmas day at Grand Targhee, I’ve heard numerous Jacksonites claiming they’ve had better powder days in the past week than they had all last season! So this is a good thing, keep it up! Keep Praying!

So with all this snow blessing us here in Wyoming/Idaho, who is getting crushed with snow around the country? I did some quick research on www.skibonk.com and checked out what resorts were reported the deepest bases so far and here’s what I found.
