Alyeska Getting Mad Snowfall

Alyeska became one of the first resorts in the world to reach the 200-inch mark just before Thanksgiving and then received another 20 inches at the summit Nov. 26. That brought the snowfall total since Nov. 1 to a staggering 256 inches. "With over 16 feet of snowfall at the summit by Thanksgiving, once again Alyeska is the powder leader in North America. Skiing over the head blower in mid November is really a treat," says Ski Area General Manager Rich Eidem. Alyeska Resort broke an all-time record for snowfall in December 2006 with over 283 inches breaking the old record of 274 inches in December 2001. Can you say, 'pow-pa-pa-pa-pow'?
