YTD Snowfall 338 Inches

By the end of May, Arapahoe Basin had received 338 inches of snow. This is 98% of average snowfall based on our records going back to 1978. On paper this indicates a very average snow season. As we all know, this season was anything, but average. November and December saw great snowfall, January and March had light snowfall and warm temperatures, February and April saw "average" snowfall and, as well all know, May saw fantastic spring snowfall.

All and all, this makes for an "average" snowfall season - more like an amalgamation of extremes.  I commonly tell people that in Colorado average snowfall means great skiing.
