The guy who died was a close friend of a friend. He worked out at the Woodland Park Zoo. From what I hear, he was a really good guy.

 

But the snow this weekend was excellent. Was up at Stevens and on the backside soon after opening. too bad it is raining up there right now.

Yup, Stevens was great all weekend long. I rode Fri-Sun up there. Each day seemed like there was about 2' of fresh as tracks from previous days were filled in. I would, however, be hard pressed to agree Stevens accumulated 50" of *unconsolidated* snow.

No matter the amount of snow reported, buried and suffocated in a tree well would be a rough way to go.

The NWAC telemtry data for 24-hour snowfall data resets to 0 at 5am so you will never see the full storm totals.

 

For the OSOCMT station at 4450' at Crystal NWAC reported 18" ending at 5am on the 6th, 30" on the 7th, and 8" on the 8th. Pretty honest numbers.
