Any snow In Summit County Colorado?

i had a friend who rode there a few weeks ago and it was really cold and really hardpacked conditions. he also informed me that Breck doesn't keep thier park up like they did last yr. maybe he hit a bad week. i don't know. that's all i've heard. we need a good dump up here in Big Sky too. backcountry is good though, as it usually is.
Thanks alot hamdog. If anyone has any recent reports let me know. <BR> <BR>I'm really surprised to hear about Big Sky. They usually get huge dumps. <BR> <BR>Utah got no snow in Dec. & Jan last season, so I guess this year they're making up for it. Maybe Colorado will get lots of late season snow. That's fine with me as that's when lodging is cheaper.
Last major storm was Jan. 1-4. It was pretty big in Vail/Beaver Creek and less intense in Summit County. This is a normal relationship (see <A HREF="http://bestsnow.net/ncconet.htm" TARGET="_top">http://bestsnow.net/ncconet.htm</A>). Breck and Keystone often have less than ideal surface conditions due to east exposure at Breck, meager snowfall at Keystone and high skier traffic at both. <BR> <BR>Most of these areas show season-to-date snowfall on their websites. Therefore recording on two dates will tell you how much fell in between. I post this info, with percent of normal at <A HREF="http://bestsnow.net/seas04.htm" TARGET="_top">http://bestsnow.net/seas04.htm</A>. At <A HREF="http://bestsnow.net/snowrpts.htm" TARGET="_top">http://bestsnow.net/snowrpts.htm</A> I reference the report above plus selected prior reports, usually two per month. By comparing current and prior you can get the semimonthly distribution of the new snow. <BR> <BR>Big Sky does not "usually get big dumps." Snowfall is somewhat less than Bridger Bowl and substantially less than Jackson/Targhee. See details at <A HREF="http://bestsnow.net/nrocnet.htm" TARGET="_top">http://bestsnow.net/nrocnet.htm</A>.
(Big Sky does not "usually get big dumps".) <BR> <BR>Thanks for correcting me on this, professor. I've never been to Big Sky, but that's the information I received from several people who HAVE been. <BR> <BR>I think I'll try to contact someone who actually lives in Summit County or has been there recently re: recent snow falls.
