A few decades ago,maybe mid 1960s,was over 60 feet of snow on both peaks,even down in the saddle was 5 feet of snow.
The Mtns never melted snow even in summers for almost 3 years in a row.
In 1968 or 1970,kinda fuzzy in years remembrance about 20ft of snow and several tens of feet deep drifts that stayed till almost mid august.
This is now the water coming though ice ponds,takes about 30 years to percolate .The more snow people take down the mountain to show off in town,the less for our aina.
But as kids we all did it,and even today it is popular,but it is an eco disaster and should be banned practice or very limited to just 10 gallon cooler per vehicle per year.
