Their current base is between 75-200 inches. Interesting though, is the fact that Alta has a base of nearly 180" at midmountain, and has received about 100' less of total showfall compared to Squaw. Could it be Utah "powder" versus Sierra "cement" less Squaw .
The Colonel
All I can say Colonel is that you have good taste in ski areas. Alta and Squaw!
I'm done with all things keeping me at school around the 20th. Who's up for a trip for closing weekend?
