I heard on the news last week, that some of the ski areas around Lake Tahoe (#1 recreation destination in the USA) had received 7 feet of new snow last week. A lady on a backpacking forum I belong too, posted a link to the Kirkwood Ski area, for this storm, they had received anywhere from 131" to 144" of fresh snow, and had something like 40' of snow on top now. Wow!
