It wasn't the best season anywhere last year, sadly.
I went to Colorado and
experienced the worst snow I could ever remember. When I was a pro ski
patrolman at Breckenridge in the Seventies, we typically had in excess of
200" per season. Last year they'd had a bit more than 90" by the middle of
February.


You guys don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about.


"2005-06 was the first season since 1998-99 with more ski areas having
above average snow than below. The Northern Rockies and Northern
Colorado had abundant snow from the start, with Utah similarly blessed
from early December and the Pacific States from the holidays onwards.
Only the far Southwest suffered, with minimal natural snow before
March." - http://members.aol.com/crockeraf/seas06.htm

Colorado had record snowfall. Tahoe absolutely got *pasted* late in
the season. Sorry you were't in the right place at the right time,
but last year was a *very* good year (except New Mexico).

The only "bad" thing about last years snow in CO was when we got that
dirty snowfall due to an Arizona dust strom that caused dirt to get
mixed in with the precip. It started out as pink snow and then the
dust/dirt seemed to accumulate into a layer of dirt. It was ugly, but
it was snow.
