Grade   B-

January clearly saved the season. And late season snows saved this grade to be in C range. If we had little better November and December this could easily be a A grade. Ended the season  with 94.1” of snow. That’s pretty average for our climate today. Also to note that the longest streak with snow on the ground this past season was 43 consecutive days. Early January to mid February. That will wrap it all up for 2021-2022 snow season so all we can do now is gear up for hopefully a fun and wild 2022-2023 season. 

Tips will go towards upgrades and weather related items.
