Snowpack news

From the Telluride Daily Planet (Ben Fornell):

Taking a look at sites near Telluride, the snowpack is a little off average. At Red Mountain Pass, the base is about 84 percent of the average. At Lizard Head Pass, the snow is at 90 percent. And at Lone Cone, the gauge reads 87.4 percent. At the Telluride Ski Resort, all lifts are open but 13 (Race Hill), and of the 112 inches of snow that have fallen this season, the base has accumulated to about 36 inches, according to the resort’s Web site. While that certainly does not keep pace with the epic snows of two seasons ago at this time, it’s not off par for where the mountain historically is this time of year.
