For those who worry about Mammoth's lift lines, 14 of the 26 days in the left table were on weekends. Among the top 20 vertical days, 2007 and 2012 Mt. Bachelor and Lake Louise were also on weekends. Snowbird was on President's Weekend during the 2002 Olympics.
The right table reflects the reality of living in an area (Southern California) where fresh powder is rare within day commute distance (now over 10 years since a good powder season). Mammoth does not show as frequently on this list because so much of the terrain must be closed for avalanche control during storms. However, note in italics the first of only two days to appear on both lists. Since 1997 I have considerably improved my powder experience by visiting several of the B.C. areas touted by Leslie Anthony at Powder Magazine.
I set most of my multiple day vertical foot records at Mt. Bachelor in April 2000 and 2012. Most of these were surpassed during a week of "piste-bashing" at three large ski complexes in Austria in 2017.
