All of the snow that has fallen on the Yampa Valley this holiday week hasn’t been enough. At least, it hasn’t been enough to push the moisture contained in the accumulated snow to 100 percent of norms for Dec. 26. The Natural Resources Conservation Service is reporting that snowpack across the Yampa and White river drainages is 84 percent of average. That report comes in the midst of a period in which the Steamboat Ski Area has counted four feet of snow in the past week.
