We did get tons of snow from this same storm... sections (where I was in southern colorado) got 30"+ (42" in one section during 24hrs ) which caused for the most amazing early season skiing I have ever had. Even where I was (South Park), in a section that is normally not graced by tons of snow we got 18" which combined with highwinds/drifts caused the forester to be stuck in my driveway for a good 2hrs on the way to go skiing (26" of snow + uphill + needing new tires = no go). However, this same snow meant nobody on the lifts and me to get 28 runs today, 32 runs yesterday, and 24 runs on friday, all in fresh powder!

Great Storm. At Alpine Meadows they got 20" at the base and 30" at the top. It was also a really cold storm for us CA skiers. Last night was -10F. Ouch!

Hey wait, I've got kids. Don't I get some sort of SUV allowance? I mean it's either that or a mini-van to load all the stuff.

Granted I can say it's my wife's car (Acura MDX).

Fail... you can fit 3 kids in a bench seat. It takes 4+ before you get the third row seat pass... or you can have Oaf's kids.

Just got done with a little session... suprising how well the forester does plowing through 3' snow drifts caused by snow plows

But it is a fair warning. You never know when he'll come after you.
