Annual est. snow falls of a few spots...

[Dobir]

Revelstoke 40-60 feet
Cooke City 40-50 feet
Stewart 30 feet
Fernie 29 feet
Elkford 10-12 feet


There are a few more spots a guy could look up..the one no brainer is the snow in Revy can not be compared to most places....that would explain the numerous days of 2 plus feet of powder...

I've never seen more than 4' on the meadows at Koko Claims. That's pushing a probe into the packed snow/or snow around the tree wells to the ground. Some of our riding places have more and I'm sure that it has to be wind blown to be close to those measurements.....first picture is south of Elkford and the second picture is 8' of packed snow on a ridge at Boulder in Revy. For some unknown reason, I don't doubt the Revy stats....

Looks like WestCastle and Crowsnest Pass say like 25 feet....although the sledding North of the Pass has not been great for good deep snow for a few years......anyways I seemed to have hit a chord with this thread...snow is snow..a fight wasn't the point..

Probed on Renshaw last year in the Blackwater Creek area and Whinebergers bowl was 8-12 feet in most all spots. A few areas that I ride had a true 15-16feet. Dug down 4 feet and hit ground with a 12 foot probe.

you bragging or complaining lol

Are the figures listed calculated by adding all the fresh snow? Usually when snowpack is listed, you get to the mountain and probe much less when it's packed, whether by sun, or sleds. Just my

It scares me to know there are people this dumb in the world.

These figures are snowfall as far as I know...a couple years ago Revy had 70 feet up top but the pack is substantially less...
