I have been maintaining a spreadsheet counting the number of days I ski each season across the various resorts. It has been an amazing 2010/11 ski season with Tahoe area receiving around 170% of their average snowfall by April, and over 700 inches of snow at most of the tahoe resorts. Our home resort of Kirkwood reported a seasonal Total Range of 720-720 inches.
Update (Apr 26th): 2010/2011 winter is now among the top 5 on record in terms of snow accumulation at Tahoe. So much for a bleak La Nina outlook last year. This season will surely be remembered and reminisced as "that" season for many years to come.
While in 2009/10 season, my heroic claim was having skied every weekend (either sat/sun or both) from Jan 1st to end of April (a 'Weekend Warrior' as such people are called), my 2010/11 claim is to have skied 6 months (November - April). Squaw is open till May 31st, so there is a remote possibility of putting on the ski boots for that "one last run" (tm) and a 7th month.
As they say: ski as much as possible...but it is good to keep a count of it. Onto the stats.
