Record Breaking Snowfall At Alpine Meadows This Month…And, It’s Still Snowing
Alpine Meadows has received a whopping total of 189.5” of snow at its base lodge and 222” of snow at its mid-mountain snow stake so far this March. March of 2006 is now the official all-time record holder for the most snow accumulation in the span of one month. The resort has been tracking snow accumulation by month for the past 35 years. The previous record-holding snow accumulation month was March of 1991, (commonly referred to as “Miracle March”) with a total of 188” at the base lodge. Alpine’s mountain is filled in with snow in every nook-and-cranny. It’s hard to believe it’s spring!
