Up at the ski area, they carefully measure how much snow has fallen. This year they’ve gotten 21 feet. The first storm dropped a solid 6 feet of snow; it has accumulated steadily since then, and it disappears as well through sublimation. There hasn’t been a melt, but so much snow has sublimed that 21 feet of snowfall is more like six or eight feet of accumulation, and less where the wind hits it. These are some shots at 10,000 feet.

There is not a single animal that walked across this field, marring its perfection. When snow falls this deep, it is a perfect blanket.
