Skiers and snowboarders aren't the only ones benefiting from all this snow in the mountains. California's water supply is receiving a big boost.

Statewide the snowpack average is 141 percent of average. The southern part of the Sierra is leading the way at 149 percent of average.

The Lake Tahoe region is at 147 percent of average. The northern part of the state is at 125 percent of average.
