curious about NW snow season history

This year is not directly comparable (yet) to '76-'77 (that was much drier) but it's similar in that backcountry skiing has been much better than Alpine. I've had a good, even longer than usual early season. September 20 was the earliest start ever, October skiing was prettty good and it's stayed o.k. Cypress XC near Vancouver opened normally, and still operates though the snowpack isn't building up. I haven't hit any rocks all season. A lot of this is going where the snow is, high enough in the Baker area. Eastern BC seems to be good as well. While hwy 20 was open it sounds like that was good as well. Too bad it's closed for nothing. Hwy 20 staying open was key to enjoying the '76-'77 season.

We do a current total snowdepth, comparison to normal and best and worst for date twice and month. It is at:<br><br> www.nwac.us/products/CLISNO

I'm guessing we're smoking along at about 20% of normal, although the quality is not too hot.
