Deepest snow you have ever skied

In like 2001 or 2002 we got steady snow in Tahoe for days on days on days. 5 feet of fresh snow over a week or so. When I skied it, there was about 3.5-4 feet of actual powder. I wasn't heavy enough to sink down, but my dad was in powder that would have hit my chin.
 
Deepest might have been in Fernie, BC in 04/05. Bottomless, chest deep, overhead blower.

This picture is the deepest documented pow I've skied. Late November near Revelstoke last year. Day 1 of the season. waist to chest deep.

54 inches of overnight powder at the late Echo Mountain after a massive Front Range storm during the 2012-2013 season.

My first time skiing out west was Revy opening day in 2009. It's like heli skiing from a high-speed quad.
 
Deepest snow I've ever experienced was in Whistler in 2011. It had snowed 6 feet in the previous 6 days and then 40cm over night. On top of that I had taken out a pair of 4FRNT Renegades to demo.

By 11am I had torn my pants on a buried stump, but I didn't care. It was bottomless.

Skiing a storm in Niseko... I think we got 110cm between midday and 6pm. Over the head blower, that sorta thing.

This was about halfway through, when it was around waist deep.

6 feet in 6 days sounds sooooo much cooler than 1.82meters.

and 40cm sounds soooo much more than 15.7"

came here to post this, i think something like that happened the next year too. 2010 had the crazy november, 2011 was the la nina, and 2012 had the record march...that was a fun three years
 
Skip right to 13:20 to see shots from the best day of skiing in my life. Shit was absolutely insane and right here on the east coast. I never knew that could happen.

Embed fail. Gotta figure that out.

 
Got about 3 feet at Echo Mountain, which used to be a hill in the foothills of CO, super close to Denver. Snow was unreal, shitty part was that the run is exceptionally short and it's not very steep, so we couldn't really enjoy it.

Best actual day powder skiing ever was when I went to Evolve Chile three years ago. Forecasted 14cm, which is about 6in. Woke up and we had over two feet. Hung out with only one other camper and a coach waiting for the top lift to open. Got first tracks down super steep, super deep, super floaty pow, then lapped it all day and kept getting rad snow.
 
Like 2 and a half to 3 feet deep in wny last season. It was quite rad for us

Yeah right! Whistler has really good pow pow snow! I love spending my entire ski vacation in that place. Even spring skiing is still best!
 
46". Wasn't light dry stuff but was still a lot of fun. Got first tracks on a steep run in the morning and tore up the trees.

I never get insane pow days really.
 
A meter and 60cm of fresh on top of a 8m base this year in Italy. It was so deep in some turns you wouldn't just be in your own spray, you would be snorkeling in the snow. Defo one of the best days of my life

Italy musst have been sick this year and I was stuck in the northern alps without snow.
 
this was my best year for pow on the east coast.

I got a few days at peak when it snowed about 2 feet and 25 inches at fuckin Hunter mountain NY believe it or not. That snow was super wet and heavy though i busted my shit all day
 
East coast. This past season at Stratton had an 18 inch day, waist deep in the woods at some water bars and just over knee deep in the moguls

Out West. A solid 3 feet at Solitude like 4 or 5 years ago
