Resorts Get Double Dipped From Two Pronged Storm
DENVER, Colo. - Feb. 26, 2008 - Snow continues to blanket the Colorado
Rockies making the 2007-08 season one for the record books. The first of a two part storm swept across the western region of the state yesterday leaving mounds of snow in its wake. The second wave of the storm further steeped the state in snow last night and today resorts are enjoying the 60th powder day of the season (calculated as at least one resort receiving 5 or more inches of new snow).
More than 25 feet has fallen at both Telluride and Aspen/Snowmass this
winter, breaking both resorts' snowfall record for this time of year and surpassing their annual average.
Many resorts have broken snowfall records already this season and Colorado's snowiest month, March, is still to come. Snow is expected to continue to fall in the Colorado high country through today.
