DENVER (CBS4) - After an active season for winter storms in the central Rockies several of Colorado's ski resorts are reporting season-to-date snow totals over 300 inches.
Steamboat Springs says their mid-mountain total has topped 350 inches for only the 12th time in 37 years, which they refer to as a "four wire winter" around the resort.
Some more snow stats from Steamboat as of March 31 include...
Colorado's high country experienced a series of winter storms between late October and the first of February, but then saw several weeks of dry weather and a decreasing snow pack.
The snow machine cranked up once again in March with many places measuring the powder in feet.
