how much less snow this year than last year

[sledder325]

i know in the areas we ride there is about half of the usual amount just wondering how much less there is in your areas

 

[Poleman]

McBride and Valemlount areas probaly less than 50% of what they usually should have by now. In my 25 plus years of riding there probably the worst year I can remember.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

Less than half with some semi deep wind loaded north aspects!

 

[BigPoo]

I am pretty sure its at least half the amount as last year...ANYWHERE

About 1\4 the normal snowfall this year. Great season for the parts departments. 2 rides this year.

It is here for sure.

I'd guestimate less than half of last year in the mountains surrounding Kelowna. Big White Ski Resort is now around 170cm base. Usually this time of year they're well over 300 cm.

We have a fair amount i think close to normal aroung P.G. but it hasn't been a great season not like last year seems its mostly been snowing at warm temps, spring conditions just about all winter kinda sucks we did have some good pow too but not as usual.

depends where you go, the McGregors are loaded with snow this year, but then if you check out the pine pass it kinda sucks there. Funny, they're not that far away from each other

That is true for sure it is a weird winter, last year was better powder wise though i just hope all the snow sticks around for a bit longer there is lots around here but it needs to stay cold for it to stick.

Calgary is up 2 inches from last year. Man i have been taking advantage of it LOL

We are hitting new lows for the Pemberton area. About 2/3 of normal and 1/2 of max.
