Weather
We are just about at the end of snowfall season, so it makes sense to see who got the most snow this year in North America. The 2012/13 ski season was thin in spots and thick in spots. Too many of us ended up on the thin spots. The Pacific Northwest once again showed their ability to get snow even in the mildest of winters.

Ah. I completely forgot Mt. Washington. Had them in my last post on this. They always get a ton of snow. Fixing this now. Thanks for the heads up.
Actually Alyeska has 726″ this year. http://www.alyeskaresort.com/snow-report.aspx
Ah, it snowed since we wrote this. Shoulda waited a bit longer. No worries, we’ll do another one in a few weeks once we’re more confident that it’s done. Baker and Alyeska will be going back and forth for this one. thanks for the update.
Bachelor was spotty this year, but damn good when it was on
The PNW does dominate in this category.
