Wonderful ski year

I know I spend too much time blogging about weather, but when you live in a ski town, it really is important. I took Jasper to the library today. The lot next door serves as an informal dog park and it's also great for throwing snowballs. I decided it was worth taking a picture of the pile of snow in the parking lot with 60 pound Jasper for reference.



As you can tell, we have a lot of snow. Park City Mountain Resort has already reported 188" and Alta has had 264". We still have January through April to go, with some inevitable bonus in May and June.

Oh, in case you think the mound of snow is so high because it is on a hill, the ground actually drops away from the parking lot, so the pile is bigger than it looks.
