Holy shit, you guys have a lot of snow over there at the other side of the pond. At my homemountain we have shitloads of snow, haven't had this much snow in years. We have about 150-160 cm base and 4-5m of snowfall, which I think is totally insane. And we are like second on the "most snow-list" in Sweden. But still, we can ski everything and we are stoked about having so much snow.
And note that it's the same at the base of the mountain as on the top. If note more at the base because of winds.
