The multi-barrel blast of snow Colorado received over the past week has resulted in some phenomenal snow totals, along with epic highway hassles and insanely long lift lines.

Breckenridge reported more than five feet — 62 inches to be exact — over the past seven days. Copper Mountain and Winter Park both reported in excess of four feet over that time. Steamboat reported 3½ feet.

The intense storm that shut down Interstate 70 for much of Friday dumped 24 inches at Loveland, according to its Saturday morning snow report, with 16 more falling the next two days. Loveland was because of high winds. Breckenridge got 20 on Friday, with 16 more falling over the weekend. Both Breck and Copper Mountain  because of the storm.
