Anybody ever ski off the backside of twin peaks at snowbird? We used to do it in the spring then hike down to silver lake when we ran out of snow. Always seemed to be someone there fishing willing to give us a ride down to Alpine were we could call for ride. One run but it would take all day.

The real question we need to ask is why the denial? Our economy is based on oil and other fossil fuels, and the products created from fossil fuels including skis & snowboards. The truth is that denial is nothing more than a way to create doubt, to keep that economy going as long as possible...

Time to stop reading charts and go skiing. For even if the snow continues youth will not.

Sorry I meant 5 in the same time period of 15 years. It was just a comment and I appreciate your providing the chart showing what I remember. I do miss the old powder days. Some of my fondest memories are of the canyons closed, having to stay the night and be treated to some of the most heaven...

According to the chart you provided. The years I was skiig there '70 to '85 there were two years below average. There have been 5 in a row over the last 5 years. I stand by my comment.

Skiing in the 70's & 80's less than 100" was unheard of except in a really bad year. I remember 1 year with those low numbers. My how times and the climate have changed. Enjoy it while it last boys. You might have to move to Alaska to get any decent snow in the future.
