And not just any snow. Mother Nature dumped off a hefty load of the good stuff.

"It's nice to have the fluffy, good, all-natural stuff," one boarder said. "I think people are having more fun out here than the hard pack we've been dealing with lately."

"This is pillow snow," Boreal operations director Shadar Edelman said.
