Most snow fall average.

[freestyledork]

im doing a speech on skiing and for the introduction i would like to state the average snowfall for a certain place. what resort has the highest average snowfall?? annually of course. i know i have seen this in freeskier at one point in my life so trivia question

 

[GUZ]

i think baker has the record for most snowfall

 

[quebecfreestyler]

baker or alta would be my guess

 

[bigbuds]

Baker for the season record, but not sure about average over a period of time. Anyway let's see if baker can beat it's previous La Ninna season...

 

[skibum193]

mount baker with 647 inches annual average: proof here:

[ski_powpow]

baker set the record in 1999 didnt they

 

[skibum193]

98-99, but that was the record for one season. they also have the highest average

 

[SnowRidgeParks]

baker is so nasty, i need to get back out there this winter...

 

[zylstra]

mt bohemia in michigan, gets more annual snowfall than aspen collorado. i'm not sure if i believe that stat, but its on the website somewhere/

 

[Microcosm]

alta gets a ton but I don't think it's the highest.

 

[Elijah.]

Mt. Baker!

 

[kenevil]

Mt. Mackenzie, the site for the new Revelstoke Mt. Resort, gets 40-60 ft. annually(480-720 inches)

at least thats what it say on their website

 

[ShadyHillGroup]

dont some mounatins in japan average 700-900 a year?

 

[Rooddss]

what about AK, Not sure if its correct or not but dont they get something like 900+ inches a year?

 

[garrett.]

in 1997/98 Alyeska resort(AK), got 1200 inches. they had to close for 2 weeks.

December 06 we got 300 inches

and we average 742 inches a year according to the website.

 

[Caveman.]

lake effect?

As far as the snowfall thing; Bridger Bowl Montana had so much snow the day after Christmas they had to close to dig out the lift. Then some guy went off a cliff and landed in snow that was so deep that he sunk so deep and suffocated

 

[djty111]

I think mount baker although hood and squaw valley get around 500 most years.

 

[freestyledork]

kk thanks for the info guys i guess i need to hit up mt baker.

 

[PeteyG]

im going to baker this yr im so stoked!!!

 

[mtbakerteacher]

Who skis Baker...

NOTE: To all your noobs who plan on coming to Baker this year, we do NOT always have the epic conditions of the few weeks you all saw in the ski movies. That was maybe a month of those conditions.

Don't get your hopes up.

 

[skier_boy26]

Baker received a shitload of snow back in November and into December last season.

But an atypical later winter/early spring lowered the total snowfall: it received like three feet in march, and practically none thereafter.

But that was atypical...

 

[Switchin_Dirty]

1200"?, thats so sick, I wish it snowed that much everywhere.

 

[Unofficialskier]

1200" thats fucking nuts

 

[Switchin_Dirty]

but my guess is somewhere in the himalayes, but I'm not sure what actual ski resort has the highest.

 

[mtbakerteacher]

The Himalayas don't receive much precipitation. They receive probably equal or less snow than the Appalachians, and other east coast mountains.

 

[Switchin_Dirty]

oh wow. well I've seen some pics from asia and they got some nasty mountains, tien shan range, when doug coombs was there. they look like get plenty of snow. close enough? haha

 

[SirFryanator]

I'm pretty sure it's baker with about 650" average.

 

[Valind]

Forget about all those other ski resorts who brag about their huge annual

snowfalls. Nothing in North America even compares to Mt. Baker's astounding 750 inches of annual snowfall.

[currentwestman]

thats so tankish

 

[K2skipunk]

hells yea for baker. about half of my days this past season at baker were powder days.

 

[davar6]

yea baker gets nailed with snow.

 

[JesseWest]

thanksgivin 2006. baker. 12 feet. 6 days. bakers the bizzle

 

[mtbakerteacher]

Well what [comparitively] little snow they get, is all the light fluffy stuff. It's so high, cold, and dry up there, that their snow stays and is the fluffy stick-to-your face kind.

Actually I have no idea, but I do know they don't get as much precipitation as the Rockies and the west coast mountains.

 

[SkierX]

That place looks awesome despite having only 900' vertical.

They get 270 inches of snow a year, no snowmaking, and all aggressive terrain.

Awesome for the midwest.
