Biggest 24 hour dump you've ever skied?

A few years ago it snowed 16 feet in 3 days in Tahoe. The mountains actually had to close they couldn't handle mother natures rage. Gas stations couldn't get gas. Shit was crazy.
 
55 inches in 30ish hours november 4+5 thats ultra light fluff not schmegma

in november of like 04 at jay peak it snow like 36" over night. sadly basically every run had virtually no snow on it before then and i wasnt floating cause i was on park skis so there were many core shots to be had. still some of the best snow ive ever skied.
 
broke my leg 2 days before the largest amount of snow utah got in a 5 day period in 12 years.. watching that 70's show while everyone skiied on the first snowday in 4 years was just... undescribable
 
That's awesome. We had one like that when I was in high school. You either legit had to ski with a snorkel or you had to time your breathing. There was only a split second where you could catch a breath without taking in a mouth full of snow. It was light and fluffy too. The biggest cliffs in Vail were like nothing, except you actually went under the snow when you landed and got shot out 10 feet down the hill.

In 2003 we got 5 feet in Denver. That was the most insane accumulation I have ever seen. It was heavy slop too.
 
last season it snowed for 3 days in december but it was a really slow and steady one. 21" came out of it. pretty good for EC i guess.
 
Baker this past March... not such a great winter 'til I showed up to visit my cousin. It started dumping the day before I got there. I rode for two days in the middle of something like a 60" 5 day storm. It was epic to say the least...
 
same as the thread creator 48 inches in 24 hours at hood was a very good day, plus that week it snowed a total of 13 feet
 
yeah it was sickkkk, especially if you hit a spot where no one made a turn the day before, then it was like neck deep. Crazay
 
caught the very tail end of it and it was pretty sick
moved to vail last year and got to ride through that whole march-april cycle where we got 10+ feet in 3 weeks, including a couple days where the fresh totals approached 2 feet on back-to-back days...insane
god i cant wait for the season to start
 
i used to think that the talk about timing your breathing was hyperbole until this year late march/early april in ut. i've had plenty of days with nice faceshots, but this was silly deep and so much fun.

for the record, it isn't hyperbole.
 
yea that snow storm in denver in 03 fucked me over i was supposed to fly out to denver then go to steamboat for the junior olympics and my travel plans got fucked and long story short i ended up missing all the training....mehh super lame
 
2 yrs ago. new years at white pass. 31in in 48-72 hrs (cant remember exactly) that was a bottomless day. you could ski in peoples tracks and not care
 
The Beave got shat on last winter in April ...... it went from Spring conditions in March, to full on fatty in mid April......

 
It was a year of great highs and lows in the East. Great start and I skied the 'bush for 3 days of super-rad-deepness. Night 1- 17 inches. Night 2- 14 inchs. Night 3- 16". didn't get enough faceshot pics because we didn't want to pause the skiing. Did get one little shifty off a small drop though

In late February, jay got something like 72 " in 4 days. one of the all time epics that rivals even THE valentines day '07. And then Stowe got less than 5 inches in all of march :(
 
2/13/09 was probably the most epic 24-hour dump I skied. Monarch, CO reported 10" new overnight but with wind, it was more like two feet.
