Major Snowfall in Western USA

A snowstorm has deposited up to three feet (90cm) of snow so far in the Western US.

Heavenly in California (pictured top) reported 50cm (20”) of new snowfall in total, Palisades Tahoe 43cm (17”) Further East ski areas across the Rockies report deep powder with Aspen in Colorado posting 19” in just 24 hours.

The storm is being particularly welcomed as it’s the first major fall for two months, since the last big dump at the end of December.

Ski areas had been open all or most of their terrain thanks to those early falls in December but have had little of the light powder snow skiing and boarding to offer for which they’re particularly renowned, until now.
