Wild photo captures massive amount of snow at California ski resort

[OnlinePoker]

This winter has been a boon for ski resorts in California with plenty of powder to go around, and at one resort, the snow has reached new heights.

Over 600 inches (50 feet) of snow has fallen on the slopes of Bear Valley Resort since late 2022, more than double the 300 inches that typically fall at the resort in an entire season. Bear Valley Resort is located about 80 miles east of Sacramento in the Sierra Nevada, with the summit reaching an elevation of 8,500 feet.

After the most recent atmospheric river, a member of the Bear Valley Ski Patrol was able to touch the top of the chair lift with his skis still planted on the snow-packed slopes.
