Oh... you mean right now. Yeah, local effects are all over the place. They do get the most on average for whole seasons though.

This can change. In 24 years of skiing in the SW, I've only seen two seasons where WC didn't get a lot more snow than anywhere else in CO.

Oh... you mean right now.

Yes, now dang it! I guess also their base reflects real snow and everyone else reflects man made snow?

 

[Tex]

Well, I guess Wolf Creek was just sandbagging.

They do. Too bad the terrain doesnt match the snow. its just short steep pitches to flat. Oh well. Cant have it all. Its fun with very fat skis.

Steamboat report seems quite honest:

** SPECIAL STATEMENT**. Wolf Creek will be on an extremely delayed opening – except for the Nova lift which will be operating from 9AM-4PM. Avalanche Hazard Reduction and Tree Removal will be taking place throughout the day!

They must have had one heck of a blowdown of bark beetle-kill trees in these winds. Woods are going to be sketchy for a while despite all the snow they've had.
