Park City Mountain has recorded 455 inches of snowfall this season, far exceeding the average total for a full season and easily the most snowfall at this point in the year since records began being kept 49 years ago.

Some resorts have already reached 600 inches of snowfall, without an end in sight as of yet.

"It has truly been an experience of a lifetime. From our early opening in November and spinning all lifts by Christmas Day, through more than 400 inches of snowfall by March 1 — I have been mindful to appreciate every day."
