I dont know if its just me but every time i look at brecks ski report they seem to be getting about 4 times as much snow as any where else but every time i go up to breck after a foot or so theres nothing and im just hitting rocks all day where r they getting there snow measurements from because this morning i got first tracks on "14 in of pow" but i hit rocks and there was like no snow. so i went to abasin and they reported six and it was good snow.
is it just me or what?

Breck is a huge resort, 4 mountains and a good bit of vertical.  Obviously there are a lot of windblown sections and such.  If you don't know where to go, learn a bit about your home mountain before you bitch.  And some runs at Breck have huge rocks that are never covered no matter how deep it gets.

Stop being spoiled.  So many kids, including myself, would kill to have Breck as a home mountain.

where was your first run? cuz mine was on the tbar and it was pretty much epic. the cliff i usually drop was completely snowed in. after a couple of laps we went to lift 6 and e chair cuz they opened. the windows were amazing, #6 was untouched for the year and i thought i was dreaming. the chute on the back9 runout was like i never seen. my friend said it looked like a controlled fall for 200 feet in powder that he could barely see me in.

tomorrow we will go to key or maybe vail cuz the lines at breck were long if you caught them at the wrong time. but i just got home and i live on the mountain. how could you go to breck and abay in the same day and be home by 130?

Breck doesn't have a visible snow stake. They just kinda say what the please.

Our snow stake at Copper is at around 9500 feet.. so mid mountain. We also have a web cam on it at all times and it isn't in a drift area.

Considering the two peaks are pretty much next to each other, Copper's report should generally be the same if not more since our peak is first. But hey, whatevs. Breck can keep it's lift lines.

Anyway, other reason you are hitting rocks is cause Breck opens terrain to open terrain. Not a horrible marketing plan considering I'd rather be skiing on an almost fully open mountain too.. but I'd rather not mess up my skis and for that, I thank our ski patrol here. 1500 acres is plenty for this early in december.

That's why you don't go to summit county to ski anything but park.

No matter where you go and no matter how deep the snow you will be hitting rocks this time of year. The snow hasn't been on the ground long enough for it to pack down and bury the underbrush. Accumulated snowfall is how much snow fell. Snow compacts within time depending on temperature and is also blown around from the wind.

Aside from all of that... You were definitely riding in the wrong spots. We are so fucking blessed to have had the snowfall we have had this year, and I think it's a fucking JOKE that you have the nerve to come on NS and bitch about this.

Get learned on some telemetry and you will always be able to find the deepest snow.

I was at breck yesterday and it was amazing..... where were you skiing to not have knee deep pow?????? cause knee deep was about the average on e chair, 6 chair, and t-bar yesterday... I hit a couple rocks too but thats because rocks vary in size and it can take way more snow to completely bury them...

how dare i be the voice of common sense in here. i disagree on 99% of stuff with eheath actually.


utah has better snow.

the pnw has better snow

interior bc has better snow

on a good year MONTANA has better snow.


but please, continue to believe that your less than 400 inches per year is "the greatest snow ever", while people with common sense realize that 500+ (some cases a lot +) and a lack of massive crowds beats that. its ok, i really dont mind you staying far away from montana, utah, or anywhere else with good pow.

It's still early in the game my friend.

I love looking at the snowfall chart though. If you look at 10/31/2010, apparently it snowed 3.5 feet in 24 hours.

the CO rockies have the least, driest, windiest, inconsistant snowfall in the west. summit county especially.

vail and the beave get way more, and its better snow. not to mention vails terrain pretty much puts all of summit county to shame.

steamboat also gets more, as does winter park, and then everywhere else southwest gets more (crestedbutte, silverton, telluride)

so pretty much summit county is the absolute worst place in the west to ski pow on a regular basis. not taking anything from a-basin, and loveland. they get pretty darn good snow there.

breck, key, coppper fucking blow on a powder day compared to nearby resorts.

/end summit county is the "illest" rant
