Epic vs Ikon
Average cumulative measured snowfall per station-linked resort on each pass — averaging keeps the duel fair despite different station coverage.
Powder & bluebird days
Powder days (≥6″ measured overnight)
Bluebird days
No bluebird mornings recorded yet this season.
Bluebird days come from the nightly vibe engine — tracked since Jun 2026 (there's no sky sensor on a snow pillow).
Snowfall is the station's measured 24-hour snow-depth rise — it reads conservative (settling hides light snow). Compare resorts to each other, not to marketing totals.
