The mountain gets about five feet of powder a season.

The farther north we went, the higher the mountains got, and the more snow was on the ground.

Exactly where the mountain first got its name is a question nobody can answer today.

"Yeah, the mountains are getting closer because we've been angling to the southwest for the past two hours."

The mountains usually get 14 to 20 inches of snow each year.

According to local legend, the mountain got its name because the devil took a bite out of it.

The ice was trying to flow down to the plain below, but the mountains got in the way.

He was not sure how cold these mountains would get at night.

Who knows what might have been possible if that mountain hadn't got in the way?

He wondered whether that mountain ever got lighter for a time, or only kept on getting heavier.
