No stranger to receiving the most snow in North America, Alyeska Resort, Alaska, is at it again. Just 10 days after smashing through the 600โ€ณ mark, the most recent storm has taken it past 700. The resort has seen 721โ€ณ of fresh snow this season and has a 201โ€ณ base.

700โ€ณ. Thatโ€™s over 58 feet of fresh snow this season. Only four other resorts have even reached 500โ€ณ.

700โ€ณ. 58-feet. Thatโ€™s enough to bury a Brachiosaurus. Or 12 Danny DeVitos. Or three giraffes.
