14.8 feet

Just in case you are interested, 14.8 feet of snow (base) remains on the slopes at Alta.  There have been 561 inches (total snowfall) this year.  That's 46.75 feet of total snowfall.  Can you even picture that much in your head???



Here's the shocker.  With 14.8 feet still on the ground, resorts are closing.  In November the masses flock to the hills where there is a mere 8 inches on a 12-inch base of man-made junk.  Life doesn't make sense sometimes.
