Pow that's the fun of posting these things so we can Monday morning QB.

Tucks only 275? From realz? Seems like that elevation would get you a lot. Maybe it's so deep because it doesn't get much rain and blows in the cracks.

Also funny that the URL says Top 9 but the article says Top 10.

I wonder who they added after publishing.

275 sounds right to me.
Tucks isn't a ski area with a marketing department so no one has a reason to inflate numbers. The snow drifts in there. That's why it's so deep.

Equally funny, the first paragraph in the article says Top 5:

It's also in NH, and not northern VT which gets a lot more snow.

So around 6000 feet in the whites gets less snow than northern VT? LOL!

So Alta is at 7k feet and gets double the snow of abasin at 10500.

What does that have to do with the price of a slice of pizza?

I'm not even going to argue this idiocy.

Re: New Coast POW

Just for comparison. The snowiest place in the contiguous U.S.(mount baker) Now obviously bear in mind some of this is rain especially at lower elevations. You have to know how to read these maps.(keeping in mind how often it rains/how wet snow is ie utah can make more snow with less precip/out west it's not as detailed in the maps ect) Washington is a northern rain forest. But you can see how at upper elvations, the place gets absolutely hammered with snow.
