Storm Total – 130″+ | Season Total – 234″

Apparently there are exceptions to Doug Coombs’ rule: “there is no such thing as too much snow.” The exception being June Mountain this week after the resort received in excess of 130″ of new snow– or so the report indicates. As such, they are currently CLOSED to all skiing and riding as an avalanche warning and winter storm warning remain in effect (*see below).
