I just completed my mid-month report:
http://bestsnow.net/seas17.htmBoth East and West (average of 7 regions) are at 129% of normal snowfall. This would tie 2010-11 as highest overall snowfall season on record if it continues through the end of the season, which is of course unlikely. Average snowfall the rest of the season would still put 2016-17 in the top 5. This reinforces my opinion that 2016-17 will set a record for US skier visits.
