Snow fell throughout the day yesterday and overnight to push Sugar Bowl, CA and Mt. Rose, NV over the 500″ mark on the season. Both ski resorts have received more snow than their average season totals. This historic season continues with wet snow falling throughout the day today, followed by two storms later this week. Both resorts have gotten absolutely pounded throughout the season and provided some incredible powder skiing. This much snow has us pretty confident that the ski season will be extended into the summer months in California this year.
