episode_narrativeA very strong west to northwesterly flow over the state combined with a series of upper level disturbances to produce very heavy snowfall in the Northern Mountains. Up to 3 1/2 feet of new snow fell in the Colorado High Country over a two day period. 170 avalanches were reported in the mountains. Berthoud Pass was closed on the 4th when an avalanche buried an 80 foot section of U.S. Highway 40. Hundreds of skiers were left stranded and forced to spend the night at Winter Park before the road could be cleared off.The most impressive snowfall totals included: 43 inches at Keystone, 42 inches at Loveland Ski Area, 35 inches at Winter Park, 34 inches at Arapahoe Basin and Breckenridge, 29 inches at Copper Mountain and 18 inches at Eldora.
